Location of pharyngitis

Pharyngitis is a very common disease in the human body. There are many reasons for this disease. It may be caused by viral infection, bad living habits, or eating some highly irritating foods. Pharyngitis can bring many adverse effects to people, pain being the most common one. So where is the painful area of ​​pharyngitis? Let’s introduce it in detail below.

Where does pharyngitis hurt?

Symptoms of pharyngitis include discomfort in the throat all day long, sore throat, dry and itchy throat, and the throat feels like it is on fire all day long. Patients with pharyngitis always feel as if something is stuck in the throat, but they can neither spit it out nor swallow it.

So pharyngitis is a sore throat.

How to relieve the pain of pharyngitis patients

The diet should be light and you should eat more liquid food, such as porridge. Never eat spicy, greasy or irritating food. When cooking, make sure the food is thoroughly cooked. Undercooked food may cause secondary damage to the throat.

Do not do strenuous exercise, as it can cause great damage to the throat and may even cause rupture of blood vessels in the pharynx. In addition, patients with pharyngitis should seek medical treatment in a timely manner and cooperate with treatment to ensure the recovery of the throat.

Clinical symptoms of pharyngitis

Dryness in the throat. Depending on each person's feeling, some people feel very dry, but most people only feel slightly dry. This situation is related to autonomic dysfunction of the pharynx (hyperactivity of the sensory nerves). Because of the dryness, some people want to drink some water from time to time to moisten their throats, while others don’t want to drink water, or drinking water is just a habit.

Patients with pharyngitis may experience a foreign body sensation in the throat. It is related to inflammatory stimulation, autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by lymph follicle hyperplasia, etc. The sensation of foreign body in the throat means that there is something stuck, sticking or adhering in the throat. Many patients cannot clearly explain what it is. Some people also say that it feels like "there is phlegm sticking", "ants crawling", "burning", "heat rushing up", "as spicy as eating chili peppers", and other sensations, etc. The more you pay attention to this feeling, the more obvious it becomes; when you are busy at work and your mind is relaxed, and your attention is not focused on the throat problem, it seems like nothing happens. However, if you experience difficulty or obstruction in swallowing when eating, it may not be pharyngitis but other serious diseases.
