Food residue in the throat

1. Improper eating habits

It is considered that the discomfort is caused by poor eating habits, such as eating large amounts of food, or drinking less water after eating sticky foods. The tonsil crypts are located in the upper right side of the throat. When foreign bacteria, microorganisms, food residues, etc. enter the pharynx, they are squeezed into the crypts during swallowing. If food residues remain inside the glandular crypt for too long, they will rot and cause a foul odor. It is recommended to eat more foods rich in fiber and rinse your mouth more often after meals to promote the excretion of food residues. If necessary, you can seek treatment from an ENT department.

2. Chronic pharyngitis

It is considered to be chronic pharyngitis, which may be related to pathogen infection. It will cause a foreign body sensation in the throat, cough with sputum, and seriously affect normal life. If you have chronic pharyngitis, you can take Qinghou Liyan granules and pharyngitis tablets for treatment, avoid eating spicy food and drinking, and eat a light diet on a normal day.

When chronic simple pharyngitis occurs, there may be various sensations in the throat, such as foreign body sensation, dryness, burning, slight pain, etc. The pharyngeal secretions increase and become sticky, so there is often throat clearing and spitting out white sticky sputum. In severe cases, it may cause irritating cough, nausea, and vomiting. Examination of the pharynx revealed diffuse congestion of the mucosa, dilated blood vessels, dark red color, with a small amount of viscous secretions, and swollen or relaxed uvula.

3. Tonsillitis

It may also be caused by factors such as tonsillitis. You can go to the respiratory department of the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause. You can take fresh bamboo sap oral liquid, Mucosolvan and other medicines, as well as Huasu tablets and other medicines for treatment. Avoid smoking, drinking, spicy, greasy and other irritating foods.

Tonsillitis can be divided into acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis. Chronic tonsillitis may occur after suffering from acute infectious diseases (such as scarlet fever, measles, influenza, diphtheria, etc.), and sinus infections in the nasal cavity may also be associated with this disease. The most common pathogens are streptococci and staphylococci. The clinical manifestations include frequent throat discomfort, foreign body sensation, dryness, itching, irritating cough, bad breath and other symptoms.
