What are the early symptoms of pharyngitis

Patients with pharyngitis are prone to early symptoms such as increased pharyngeal secretions, dryness, itching, and burning sensation in the throat. Some may also cause hoarseness, sputum, and cough, so they need to be treated reasonably.

1. Increased pharyngeal secretions

There are sticky secretions that are difficult to cough up, so patients often cough frequently and are often accompanied by nausea.

2. Dry throat

Symptoms include dryness, itching, and swelling in the throat, excessive secretions and burning pain, nausea, a foreign body sensation, and inability to cough up or swallow.

3. Hoarseness

The voice starts to become hoarse, rough, and hoarse until it is completely lost. The patient feels that his speech is lighter and weaker, and his tone becomes lower, dull and labored.

4. Cough and sputum

Before speaking or singing, there is often a throat-clearing sound of wanting to cough out the secretions in the throat. The secretions in the throat increase, and there is often a feeling of phlegm sticking to the throat. Every time you speak, you have to cough to clear the sticky phlegm.

5. Sore throat

The patient presents with sore throat, dark red congestion in the pharynx, and lymphatic chronic pharyngitis follicles visible on the posterior pharyngeal wall.

prevention

1. Exercise and improve your physical fitness. You should have a regular daily life, combine work and rest, do more outdoor activities and breathe fresh air.

2. Prevent upper respiratory tract infections and acute attacks of chronic pharyngitis. You should pay attention to the changes in weather conditions. During the influenza season, try to avoid going to public places to avoid cross-infection.

3. Pay attention to oral and nasal hygiene. The pharynx is located below and behind the mouth and nose, and is directly connected to the mouth and nose. Chronic infections of the oral cavity, nasal cavity, and sinuses often cause pharyngitis due to viruses, bacteria, pus, etc. affecting the pharyngeal mucosa. Therefore, you should pay attention to keeping your oral cavity clean and treat periodontal diseases in a timely manner.

4. Pay attention to food hygiene and ensure nutritional balance of the body. Eat less hot, cold, and spicy food to keep your bowel movements smooth. If you suffer from pharyngitis, you should seek timely treatment and should not ignore treatment for the condition that it is a minor illness.
