Pharyngitis with bloodshot

In people's daily lives, many people suffer from pharyngitis. When the human body suffers from this disease, many adverse conditions will occur, such as swelling and pain in the throat, difficulty breathing, coughing with sputum, etc. Many patients will also have blood in their throats. Pharyngitis with blood streaks is very serious and requires people to pay special attention and receive timely treatment. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if pharyngitis has blood streaks.

1. What is the cause of blood streaks in pharyngitis?

If there is blood in the sputum due to pharyngitis, it may be bleeding in the pharynx. There are several possible causes of pharyngeal bleeding. The first is various inflammations of the throat; foreign objects such as fish bones and date pits that pierce the throat can also scratch the throat mucosa and cause bleeding. Tumors in the throat, blood diseases, etc. can also cause throat bleeding.

The reason why pharyngitis causes blood in the sputum is that pharyngitis causes congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, gradual dilation of blood vessels, and the permeability of the blood vessel walls due to inflammation. In addition, the severe coughing caused by pharyngitis can easily lead to rupture of capillaries and blood in the sputum, and even worse, blood clots may appear. When the air is dry or when you just get up in the morning, the symptoms of pharyngitis causing blood in the sputum are more obvious, but the amount of blood is generally less. If there is a lot of blood in the sputum, you should consider whether it is other inflammation or nasal disease.

2. Dietary adjustment for pharyngitis with blood streaks

If you want to relieve the phenomenon of blood in pharyngitis sputum, you can also adjust your diet. For example, foods rich in collagen and elastin: pig's trotters, pig skin, beans, kelp, etc.; and foods rich in B vitamins, etc.; try to eat less or simply do not eat fried, spicy and irritating foods. In addition, green tea honey drink and lily and mung bean soup are both very good choices for relieving pharyngitis with blood in sputum.

3. Folk remedies for treating bloodshot pharyngitis

Use gentle techniques and it is best to feel a sore and swollen feeling. What are the complications of pharyngitis?

1. Systemic poisoning reaction. Systemic toxic reactions such as the acute pharyngitis may also occur except that the pharyngalgia, generating heat, is afraid of cold, headache, body aches, poor appetite, dry stool, xerostomia, etc. When there is a bacterial infection, the number of white blood cells in the blood increases. If the throat pain is severe, it will affect swallowing and cause nutritional and metabolic disorders in the body.

2. Involvement of adjacent organs. It can develop downward and invade the larynx, trachea and other lower respiratory tracts, causing acute laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis and pneumonia; if pathogenic bacteria and toxins invade the blood circulation, it can cause systemic complications such as acute nephritis, sepsis, etc., which are extremely harmful to the body.

3. The resistance of the pharynx decreases. When the climate changes from cold to hot, dry to wet, the warming and humidifying regulatory functions of the mucosa are weakened, the ciliary activity and decomposition and phagocytosis functions are insufficient, and bacteria and viruses are easily retained and multiplied locally, becoming foci of chronic infection.
