What should I do if chronic pharyngitis attacks acutely?

I believe that many friends with chronic pharyngitis will have this feeling, always feeling that there is a foreign object in the throat, which can neither be coughed out nor swallowed. So what should we pay attention to during an acute attack of chronic pharyngitis?

Although chronic pharyngitis is common, it is perceptible

If you have been feeling discomfort in your throat recently, as if there is something you can't swallow or spit out, and you often cough, have a dry and itchy throat, and have a lot of phlegm, you may be suffering from "slow pharyngitis." In addition, if you feel nauseous when brushing your teeth or spitting in the morning, you may also be ill. You should go to the hospital immediately and do not judge on your own, because early esophageal or hypopharyngeal cancer can also have similar symptoms. Although chronic pharyngitis is a long-term disease and is not easy to cure, there are some "self-help" tips that can help you relieve or even cure it.

Don't take antibiotics on your own

Because chronic pharyngitis is not a bacterial infection, the misuse of antibiotics may lead to an imbalance of normal flora in the throat and cause secondary infection. In addition, every antibiotic has systemic side effects that can cause harm to the human body. At the same time, the misuse of antibiotics can also cause bacterial resistance. When you feel your throat is uncomfortable, you can buy some honeysuckle, houttuynia cordata, and chrysanthemum and soak them in water to drink. These Chinese medicines have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and can clear the throat, benefit the lungs and reduce phlegm. If chronic pharyngitis has an acute attack and symptoms such as throat pain, itchy throat, cough, and increased secretions occur, see a doctor immediately.

Pay attention to light diet and avoid spicy food

Eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C, as well as things rich in collagen and elastin, such as pig's trotters, fish, milk, beans, animal liver, lean meat, etc. Rinse your mouth with light salt water in the morning and evening. After rinsing your mouth, you may want to drink a glass of light salt water to sterilize, clean and moisten the throat, improve the environment of the throat and prevent bacterial infection. If you persist for half a year to a year, chronic pharyngitis can be effectively controlled. Open windows frequently for ventilation.

Maintain appropriate indoor temperature and humidity

If there is no condition to open the window, take advantage of the lunch break to go outside for a walk and breathe fresh air; participate in more physical exercises to improve your own resistance and avoid respiratory infections; try to avoid staying in a polluted environment for a long time; develop good living habits, maintain a good mood and get enough sleep; it is best not to smoke or drink to prevent any irritants from being harmful to the throat.
