What diseases will occur if pharyngitis becomes serious

I believe many people are very familiar with the disease of pharyngitis, because it is a relatively common throat disease. If pharyngitis persists for a long time, it will cause great harm to your body or throat. Many people know that if pharyngitis becomes serious after a long period of time, it will be accompanied by some other symptoms. Even chronic pharyngitis, chronic tracheitis or bronchitis may occur. So in addition to these symptoms, what other diseases can you get if pharyngitis is serious?

1. What diseases will occur if pharyngitis is serious?

1. If the patient has severe pharyngitis, the infection in the pharynx will cause inflammation in other parts of the body, such as chronic laryngitis, chronic trachea and bronchitis, etc.; if the inflammatory substances enter the stomach, it will cause digestive tract diseases, such as gastritis, enteritis, etc.; it may also cause dizziness, headache, general weakness and other systemic reactions.

2. In acute pharyngitis, in addition to throat pain, other symptoms may include fever, headache, poor appetite, dry mouth and thirst. If a bacterial infection occurs, the number of white blood cells in the body will increase. Sometimes a sore throat can affect swallowing and lead to a decrease in appetite, which can affect the body's absorption of nutrients and cause malnutrition.

3. Patients with chronic pharyngitis have weaker resistance and are more likely to catch a cold or tonsillitis. If the disease is not cured for a long time, it may cause more serious inflammation, such as nephritis.

4. Some people suffer from pharyngitis for a long time and the long-term treatment will cause the pharyngeal mucosa to thicken, which will affect their breathing and cause snoring while sleeping. Bacteria in the mouth can also cause bad breath.

2. What diseases can long-term pharyngitis cause?

1. It can develop downward and invade the lower respiratory tract such as the larynx and trachea, 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, rheumatism, etc., which are extremely harmful to the body.

2. It leads to decreased resistance of the pharynx. 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 easy to stay and multiply locally, becoming chronic infection lesions. The infection and inflammation of the pharynx may affect other systems and may lead to complications such as chronic laryngitis, nephritis, and heart disease.
