Clinical manifestations

Different causes of sore throat may cause different symptoms, such as:

1. Nasopharyngeal inflammation

During the acute inflammation stage of the nasopharynx, the patient will have a dry and painful feeling. At the same time, the vasodilation during the inflammation period will cause the patient to have a slightly bloody nasal discharge when he or she spits it out.

2. Oropharyngeal inflammation

Symptoms of inflammation in the oropharynx are mostly acute tonsillitis and acute pharyngitis, both of which are often related to colds. When the tonsils are acutely inflamed, the patient will feel sore throat and have moderate or high fever. In severe cases, the tonsils may swell and become purulent.

3. Laryngitis

Inflammations of the laryngopharynx are mostly acute epiglottitis and acute laryngitis. Acute epiglottitis is one of the common critical diseases in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. Most patients feel severe pain in the throat and are even afraid to swallow food. There is a watery sound when they speak. At the same time, there is a feeling of blockage in the throat. Severe cases can lead to breathing difficulties and endanger life. If patients encounter this situation, they must go to the hospital's ENT emergency department as soon as possible. When acute laryngitis occurs, the patient also has throat pain and a foreign body sensation in the throat, but there is an obvious difference from acute epiglottitis. The patient's voice is hoarse and not watery.

4. Non-inflammatory diseases

The causes of sore throat are many and complex, and not all are caused by inflammation. Such as glossopharyngeal neuralgia, external stimulation, oral ulcers, etc. can cause throat pain.

(1) The pain caused by glossopharyngeal neuralgia is usually unilateral and severe, with no definite cause. If the symptoms do not improve significantly after taking anti-inflammatory drugs, doctors often recommend using painkillers for trigeminal neuralgia to eliminate the pain.

(2) Pain caused by an elongated styloid process Pain on one side of the pharynx that is more noticeable when swallowing. Unlike glossopharyngeal neuralgia, this pain radiates up and down the same side of the pharynx. Patients need to go to the hospital as soon as possible for an X-ray and confirmed diagnosis.

(3) Oral ulcers Oral ulcers caused by vitamin deficiency and other reasons are mostly self-healing diseases and will heal within 7 to 10 days. During the course of the disease, they will cause persistent pain in the throat. Some malignant and long-lasting oral ulcers require active treatment.
