There is a foreign body sensation at the root of the tongue

Many people have suffered from pharyngitis in life. When suffering from pharyngitis, patients will experience discomfort in the throat, always feeling as if something is stuck at the root of the tongue, unable to cough out, and accompanied by pain and burning sensation. Pharyngitis is generally caused by viral and bacterial infections, which can be transmitted and infected through the air. When you suffer from pharyngitis, you should pay more attention to rest and drink more water.

Symptom 1:

Patients with pharyngitis have a foreign body sensation in the throat, which cannot be eliminated by coughing or swallowing, so their voices tend to be tired and hoarse. Some patients often experience symptoms of acid reflux and belching, and patients with pharyngitis like to eat before going to bed.

Symptom 2:

Patients sometimes experience temporary loss of voice when speaking normally, or their voices are extremely low and cannot be heard clearly, but their coughing and laughing are normal. At this time, it is necessary to distinguish it from hysterical hoarseness. Clinical examination shows normal adduction of the vocal cords, which indicates pharyngitis.

Symptom three:

Patients with pharyngitis often experience sore throat, which worsens when swallowing. Symptoms usually occur after a cold or fever. Those with long-term sore throat that does not heal need to be alert to laryngeal cancer.

Treatment of pharyngitis

General treatment

Rest in bed, drink plenty of water, eat soft food, avoid smoking and drinking, do not eat spicy or overly greasy food, and keep bowel movements open. The above methods are very important for the early recovery of acute pharyngitis, but they are often ignored by patients and parents, resulting in prolonged illness or complications of other diseases. If sore throat affects the patient's ability to eat, intravenous fluids and nutritional supplements should be given. For those with severe sore throat or high body temperature, APC can be taken orally, 0.5 grams each time, or intramuscular injection of Antongding, Chaihu injection, etc.

Topical treatments

Take lysozyme tablets, domiphene lozenges, iodine lozenges, Liushen pills, etc.; gargle with compound borax solution, chlorhexidine mouthwash, or warm salt water; in the early stage of the disease, apply 1% iodine glycerin or 2% silver nitrate solution to the pharyngeal wall to help subside inflammation; nebulization or fumigation treatment, inhalation of medicinal gas, is effective for local inflammation and the patient also feels comfortable.

Anti-infective treatment

For those infected with viruses, antiviral drugs such as morphine, amantadine, interferon, etc. can be used; for those infected with bacteria, antibiotics and sulfonamides can be taken orally or injected. Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on both viral and bacterial infections.

Causes

This disease is mainly caused by viral and bacterial infections. It is mostly transmitted by droplets or direct contact. In addition, weakened body resistance, such as fatigue, cold, excessive smoking and drinking, are often the causes of this disease. This disease can also be secondary to a cold or acute tonsillitis. Repeated attacks of acute pharyngitis or incomplete treatment, as well as irritation from lesions in adjacent organs such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, nasopharyngitis, tracheitis, etc., can develop into chronic pharyngitis. Excessive smoking and drinking, dust and harmful gas irritation are common causes of the disease.
