What causes pharyngitis?

Many diseases may cause new diseases as the virus continues to grow and multiply, which is often called complications as the disease spreads. Never underestimate any complication, because sometimes the complication is far more serious than the disease itself, and must be treated in time to prevent the occurrence of complications. Let us now understand what complications may occur due to pharyngitis?

Chronic pharyngitis: The pharynx is the only way for the body to receive oxygen and food, so almost everyone has experienced pharyngeal discomfort. In terms of treatment, relaxing and not taking your pharyngeal symptoms as a big deal is the most fundamental thing. You should also quit smoking and drinking, have a regular daily life, do proper physical exercise, strengthen your physical fitness, or take oral pharyngitis tablets, recurrent melon seeds, and Yunongganbeicao rubbing drink, etc. For hypertrophic pharyngitis with obvious lymph follicle hyperplasia, laser or plasma ablation can be performed.

Generally speaking, chronic pharyngitis is divided into chronic simple pharyngitis, chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis, chronic atrophic pharyngitis, etc. Different types have different treatment methods.

The main clinical manifestations of pharyngitis symptoms include discomfort in the throat, dryness, foreign body sensation or mild pain, dry cough, nausea, dark red congestion in the throat, and visible lymph follicles on the posterior pharyngeal wall.

Suggestions: Quit smoking and drinking, actively treat the primary disease that causes chronic pharyngitis, do appropriate physical exercise, maintain a normal work and rest schedule, eat a light diet, and maintain a good mental state to improve the local functional state of the pharyngeal mucosa by enhancing the overall immune function. Then there is drug treatment.

Although pharyngitis is not a serious disease, it can still have serious consequences if left untreated for a long time. What are the consequences of untreated pharyngitis?

1. Inflammation of the throat causes coughing, wheezing, etc., which in turn leads to many respiratory diseases.

2. Swelling of the throat will affect swallowing of food. Inflammation or other lesions in the throat can stimulate the nerves that control the esophagus, causing diaphragm spasm, and symptoms such as hiccups and a fullness under the heart.

3. There are endocrine organs such as thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, submandibular gland, parotid gland, etc. around the neck and throat. When there is inflammation or other lesions in the neck and throat, it is easy to spread to these endocrine organs through the branches of lymphatic vessels, causing corresponding endocrine organ lesions, endocrine disorders, and corresponding diseases. For example, upper respiratory tract infection may be complicated by mumps, thyroiditis, etc.

4. Inflammation of the throat can activate the body's immune system to attack invading bacteria and viruses and protect normal tissues. However, because throat irritants vary in strength and duration, these immune responses are sometimes insufficient and sometimes too strong. Whether it is insufficient or excessive, systemic diseases will occur. For example, glomerulonephritis is the result of enhanced immunity to pharyngeal streptococci.
