What are the symptoms of nasopharyngitis? Be careful when these appear!

Nasopharyngeal inflammation is a relatively common symptom, especially in dry seasons, which often causes damage to the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa, thus causing symptoms of inflammation. It can cause patients to experience dryness in the throat and nasal cavity, a foreign body sensation in the throat, and inability to swallow or spit out, which can cause pain and lead to coughing and itchy throat symptoms.

1. Dry throat:

Depending on each person's feeling, some people feel very dry, but most people only feel slightly dry. This situation is related to autonomic dysfunction of the pharynx (hyperactivity of the sympathetic nerves).

2. Foreign body sensation in the throat, unable to cough or swallow:

It is related to inflammatory stimulation, autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by lymph follicle hyperplasia, etc. The sensation of foreign body in the throat means that there is something stuck, sticking or adhering in the throat.

3. Slight pain in the throat:

It is mostly caused by inflammatory stimulation. Most of the time, the pain is mild. In acute attacks, the pain is more obvious, or it is biased to one side, or in a certain part, or the specific part cannot be pointed out.

4. Dry throat, itchy throat, cough:

It is related to sensory nerve dysfunction in the pharynx, inflammatory stimulation, or allergic factors. The feeling of itchy throat is also a kind of "foreign body sensation in throat", which is very similar to the feeling of "ants crawling" and can easily cause coughing.

5. Frequent "throat clearing" or "half coughing":

It may be caused by a foreign body sensation or the formation of bad habits. Throat clearing refers to when the patient feels discomfort in the throat, he or she consciously or deliberately makes a "crunching" sound in an attempt to make the throat feel comfortable; half a cough refers to when the patient feels discomfort in the throat, he or she coughs unconsciously and unknowingly without actively coughing hard.
