Why is my throat so stuffy and uncomfortable?

The throat is an important part of the human body and is also one that is more easily irritated. Health problems in the stomach or neck, or pharyngitis, can cause a stuffy and uncomfortable feeling in the throat. After this symptom appears, the correct approach is to go to the hospital to find out the cause and then receive appropriate treatment. Below, we will introduce in detail the causes and solutions of throat congestion and discomfort.

1. Excessive gastric acid secretion

The throat is the "hub" of the upper and lower parts of the human body. For some people with stomach diseases, if they experience discomfort in the throat when swallowing during stomach pain, it is also related to stomach acid.

Because when gastric acid is secreted too much, when the human body is sleeping, gastric acid can easily flow back to the throat and have an adverse corrosive effect on it, causing a feeling of dryness, pain, and burning discomfort in the throat.

Solution: If your stomach pain is accompanied by sore throat, you can first neutralize stomach acid by drinking more water and increasing the intake of alkaline foods. In addition, it is also necessary to see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. Throat inflammation

The throat is a very "sensitive" area, so it needs to be taken good care of in your daily diet to avoid causing adverse damage to the throat. Many people are greedy for spicy and greasy food, but it is the dry season of spring. If you continue to eat a lot of dry and hot food, the dry evil energy in the human body will be aggravated, so the throat will become inflamed due to the heat, so the throat will naturally feel uncomfortable swallowing due to the inflammation.

Solution: Eat a light diet in your daily life and eat less food that is easy to cause heat. In addition, you can also eat some yin-nourishing and heat-removing food in moderation to suppress the rise of heat in the body.

3. Signals of neck disease

Sometimes, there are symptoms of discomfort in the throat. It may not be a problem with the throat, but it may be related to the neck. Inflammation of the cervical lymph nodes and thyroid inflammation will involve the throat, causing discomfort.

Solution: If the condition does not improve after taking a series of throat moisturizing methods, it is recommended to clarify the condition in time.
