Chronic pharyngitis with blood in sputum in the morning

As we all know, chronic pharyngitis is a disease that is relatively difficult to treat, and once it occurs, it will cause great discomfort to the patient's throat. There are many factors that lead to the onset of chronic pharyngitis. If you want to completely cure chronic pharyngitis, you must first find out the cause and then treat it accordingly. So, what are the causes of chronic pharyngitis? The following article will provide you with a detailed analysis!

1. Upper respiratory tract lesions adjacent to the pharynx

Chronic pharyngitis is a chronic inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa, submucosal and lymphoid tissue. Diffuse pharyngitis is often part of chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract; localized pharyngitis is mostly inflammation of the pharyngeal lymphoid tissue. This disease is common in clinical practice, has a long course, and symptoms are prone to recurrence.

For example, chronic inflammation of the nasal cavity, sinuses, and nasopharynx may irritate the pharyngeal mucosa due to the reflux of inflammatory secretions through the posterior nasal cavity to the pharynx; diseases such as chronic rhinitis, deviated nasal septum, chronic sinusitis, adenoids hypertrophy, snoring, or space-occupying lesions in the nasal cavity, sinuses, and nasopharynx affect nasal ventilation, causing long-term mouth breathing, causing long-term excessive dryness of the pharyngeal mucosa and leading to chronic pharyngitis; chronic inflammation of chronic tonsillitis can directly spread to the posterior pharyngeal wall, causing chronic pharyngitis; if oral inflammation is not controlled in time, it can also lead to chronic pharyngitis as the inflammation spreads.

2. Changes in climate and regional environment

Changes in temperature and humidity, poor air quality, stimulation from tobacco and alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, dust, harmful gases and radioactive exposure are also causes of chronic pharyngitis.

3. Occupational factors

People who use their voice extensively for a long time, such as teachers, singers, and those with susceptible physical conditions may also develop this disease.

4. Systemic factors

Chronic pharyngitis can also be caused by anemia, indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux, heart disease (due to blood circulation disorders affecting the pharyngeal venous return and causing local congestion in the pharynx), chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rheumatism, liver and kidney diseases, etc. Endocrine disorders, autonomic nervous system disorders, infection with Bacillus rhinorrhoeae and diphtheroids, vitamin deficiency and immune dysfunction are all related to atrophic and dry pharyngitis.

5. Allergic factors

Inhaled allergens (including seasonal and perennial allergens), medications, chemical irritants in the workplace, and food allergens can all cause allergic pharyngitis.
