Will pharyngitis turn into laryngeal cancer if it is not cured for a long time?

Long-term pharyngitis will lead to a higher incidence of laryngeal cancer. The most basic difference between laryngeal cancer and pharyngitis is that laryngeal cancer is a tumor while pharyngitis is an inflammation. Laryngeal cancer and pharyngitis have many similarities, such as foreign body sensation in the throat, sore throat, and swallowing discomfort. So, how can pharyngitis be treated more effectively?

Treatment of pharyngitis:

1. Chinese medicine lozenges for the treatment of chronic pharyngitis

It can relieve the symptoms of general and early pharyngitis, and it is not very destructive to the throat mucosa. Therefore, it is more common in the treatment of mild pharyngitis. However, Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect and is difficult to improve the environment of the lesion tissue. It has little effect on severe diseases such as chronic pharyngitis.

2. Western medicine treatment of chronic pharyngitis

Western medicine for treating pharyngitis mainly uses antibiotics, which have a wide coverage, but they have certain effects on human tissue cells, and antibiotics also have strong drug resistance.

3. Traditional surgical treatment of chronic pharyngitis

Drug cauterization, electrocoagulation, freezing, laser, microwave and radiofrequency treatments are commonly used, with significant effects. However, the surgery is highly traumatic, causes heavy bleeding and causes pain to the patient.

Friendly reminder: Chronic pharyngitis is a common and frequently occurring disease in the otolaryngology department. Its etiology is relatively complex and can cause systemic or local complications. If not treated promptly, it will eventually lead to aphonia. Therefore, early treatment is necessary. It is difficult to cure with ordinary drugs. It is recommended to consult a professional expert in a regular hospital and adopt scientific and standardized diagnosis and treatment methods.
