Don't think that feeling nauseous while brushing your teeth is just a simple matter. It's not just a disease.

Brushing your teeth in the morning is not only for fresh breath, but also to remove bacteria that have grown in the mouth overnight. However, most people experience dry heaving when brushing their teeth. Is it really chronic pharyngitis as the advertisement says?

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.

Chronic pharyngitis is generally a transformation of acute pharyngitis, and the harm of chronic pharyngitis to people is long-term.

What are the symptoms of chronic pharyngitis?

1. Hoarseness: It is the main symptom, which is usually milder in the morning and heavier in the afternoon. It is milder when talking less and heavier when talking more. Hoarseness is intermittent at first, but becomes continuous over time.

2. Increased throat secretions: Patients often feel that there is phlegm attached to the throat, and the throat is dry and uncomfortable, but the phlegm is thick and difficult to cough up.

3. Dry throat: Throat hurts when talking, and the throat feels abnormally dry, which can only be relieved by drinking water continuously.

4. Pain: During the acute phase of inflammation, pain will occur in the throat, mainly in the pharynx.

5. Cough: In the late stage of acute inflammation of the throat, mostly after the flu, due to the prolonged inflammation, there will be a local itchy feeling, resulting in residual cough symptoms. If effective treatment is not given at this time, the cough will persist.

6. Foreign body sensation: Due to the long-term existence of inflammation, the throat tissue proliferates, especially the lymph nodes at the root of the tongue are swollen, which is clinically called lingual tonsillitis. The swollen lingual tonsils can stimulate the epiglottis and produce a foreign body sensation.

7. Dry throat: Long-term chronic inflammation, in the case of abuse of antibiotics, the related symptoms of inflammation are often extremely atypical, and simply manifest as dry throat. In addition, nasal congestion causes the patient to breathe through the mouth when lying flat, which over time often manifests as dry throat in the morning.

However, the dry retching phenomenon when brushing teeth may also be caused by the following reasons:

The body's conditioned reflex

Incorrect brushing posture causes the teeth to go too deep into the mouth, which is a conditioned reflex of the body to protect itself.

It may also be caused by the way you brush your teeth and the toothpaste you use.

1. Wrong brushing posture, brushing too hastily and too quickly, irritating the tongue coating and causing nausea.

2. The toothbrush head is too large and sometimes irritates the mouth and causes nausea.

3. Too much toothpaste will irritate the throat, and nausea is a conditioned reflex of the body.

4. The smell of the toothpaste is not suitable and it smells disgusting.

5. Reasons for brushing teeth water, such as the water is too cold and irritating, water entering the throat, etc.

Disease factors

1. Chronic pharyngitis

This disease has become popular through advertising. It is a type of chronic upper respiratory inflammatory disease, with the main manifestations being chronic congestion of the throat mucosa, dilation of blood vessels, and viscous secretions on the surface. It is accompanied by bad breath, dry throat, itching, nausea and other phenomena. If the condition worsens, it will also cause hoarseness and affect hearing.

2. Rhinitis and sinusitis

Feeling nauseous when brushing teeth and having sticky, purulent secretions in the mouth or nasal cavity in the morning are mostly caused by rhinitis or sinusitis. In addition to nausea, it may also be accompanied by dizziness, decreased sense of smell, runny nose, bad breath, etc.

3. Snoring

After a night of snoring, the throat becomes dry and itchy, and the discomfort is aggravated when brushing teeth, which naturally aggravates nausea. Changing sleeping position or pillow can solve the problem.

4. Premonition of a cold

In the early stages of a cold, there will be symptoms such as dry throat, sore throat, and itchy throat. At this time, you should pay attention to keeping warm and take cold medicine in time.
