The roof of the mouth is yellow with bloodshot and the throat is itchy

In life, if you have bad living habits, it is likely to cause physical illness. Some people like to eat spicy, salty and greasy food. Such people will not only suffer from constipation, but are also prone to diseases such as pharyngitis. When chronic pharyngitis occurs, most people will have dry and sore throats, and some will have blood on the palate. You must quit smoking and drinking in order to effectively treat the disease.

1. Symptoms of chronic pharyngitis

Etiology

Chronic pharyngitis is a common disease, which is a diffuse pharyngeal lesion caused by chronic infection, mainly inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa. It is more common in adults, and its main causes include recurrent acute pharyngitis, long-term irritation from dust or harmful gases, excessive smoking and drinking or other bad living habits, irritation from sinusitis secretions, allergic constitution or reduced body resistance, etc. Chronic pharyngitis can also be a local manifestation of certain systemic diseases, such as anemia, diabetes, cirrhosis and chronic nephritis.

Self-diagnosis points

Discomfort in the throat, a foreign body sensation, a constant feeling that there is something in the throat that cannot be swallowed or spit out, stimulating coughing, dryness, swelling, blockage, itching, etc., but rarely sore throat. Frequent spitting out of thick phlegm in the early morning can easily cause nausea. Since early-stage cancer of the esophagus or hypopharynx can also cause similar symptoms, if you notice the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment recommendations

The doctor should provide targeted treatment based on the cause of the disease. For local symptomatic treatment, you can use Chinese patent medicines, such as Liyanling, Coral Grass lozenges, Baoan Powder, etc., and take them together with tea: equal parts of Shuanghua, Ophiopogon japonicus, Sterculia lychnophora, and raw licorice, brew with boiling water and take frequently. Qingyan Drink: 50 grams each of black plum meat, raw licorice, Adenophora Root, Ophiopogon japonicus, Platycodon grandiflorum, and Radix Rehmanniae, mash and mix evenly, take 3 times a day, about 15 grams each time, and drink with boiling water.

Precautions

Pay attention to oral hygiene and brush your teeth every morning, evening and after meals. Reduce the stimulation of tobacco, alcohol and dust, and correct the bad habit of mouth breathing. You should strengthen your physical exercise, improve your physical fitness, prevent respiratory infections, use less tobacco and alcohol, and actively treat diseases of the organs around the pharynx. Arrange your life reasonably, keep a good mood and avoid worries and depression. Maintain appropriate indoor temperature and humidity and fresh air. It is advisable to eat light, sour, sweet and yin-nourishing foods, such as fruits, fresh vegetables, and green fruits. Regularly take Four Seasons Throat Lotions, Mint Throat Tablets, etc.

Chronic pharyngitis

Chronic pharyngitis is a chronic inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa, in which diffuse inflammation is often part of chronic catarrhal inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, while localized inflammation is often accompanied by inflammation of the pharyngeal lymphoid tissue. This disease is equivalent to chronic laryngeal paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine.

1. Western medicine diagnostic criteria:

(l) Medical history: There is often a history of recurrent acute pharyngitis, or long-term mouth breathing due to nasal disease, excessive smoking and drinking, dry air, dust and irritating gas pollution, etc.

(2) Symptoms: Throat discomfort, pain, itching, dryness, burning, smoky, or foreign body sensation; irritating cough, coughing up secretions in the morning, or even nausea. The course of the disease is more than 2 months, and symptoms are often caused by colds, fatigue, excessive talking, etc.

(3) Examination: Chronic congestion of the pharynx, worsening. It is dark red, or has dendritic congestion; there is hyperplasia of lymph follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall, or enlargement of the lateral pharyngeal cords; there is hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the pharyngeal mucosa, or it is dry, atrophic, and thin, with secretions attached. The diagnosis can be made if all of the above symptoms and one or more examination findings are present.

2. Chinese medicine differentiation:

Ascending syndrome of virtual fire, deficiency of lung and spleen qi, phlegm-heat syndrome, phlegm-stasis syndrome

Acute inflammation of the pharynx is very similar to acute inflammation of the tonsils. Pharyngitis and tonsillitis can be caused by the same bacteria and viruses, but the symptoms of pharyngitis are not as severe as those of tonsillitis. Some medical professionals simply refer to these two diseases as acute pharyngitis.
