2. Clinical manifestations of chronic pharyngitis

Chronic pharyngitis is more common in adults, but can also occur in children. Systemic symptoms are not obvious, and local symptoms are the main ones. The symptoms of various types of chronic pharyngitis are roughly similar and varied, such as discomfort in the throat, foreign body sensation, difficulty in coughing up pharyngeal secretions, itching, burning, dryness or irritation in the throat, and may also be slight pain.

Since the posterior pharyngeal wall usually has thick secretions adhering to it due to chronic inflammation of the pharynx, and since lesions of the nose, sinuses, and nasopharynx cause mouth breathing at night, irritating coughs and nausea often occur in the morning. Frequent swallowing may occur due to the foreign body sensation in the throat. People with little pharyngeal secretions that are difficult to cough up often have habitual dry coughs and clearing the throat to expectorate. If you cough or clear your throat hard, it may cause bleeding of the pharyngeal mucosa, resulting in blood in the secretions.
