Can laryngitis develop into throat cancer?

Pharyngitis will not lead to laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer is not caused by pharyngitis, but by human papillomavirus infection, abnormal sex hormones, genetic factors, laryngeal leukoplakia, laryngeal papilloma, etc. In addition, long-term smoking and drinking will also increase the incidence of laryngeal cancer, because tobacco tar will be produced after burning, which will cause mucosal edema and bleeding, epithelial hyperplasia, and eventually cause cancer.

Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the throat mucosa and the area below the mucosa. There are many factors that cause pharyngitis, including viral infection, bacterial infection, environmental factors, lower respiratory tract inflammation, decreased immune function, occupational factors, bad living habits, indigestion, etc. During the acute attack period, there will be burning, itching, pain in the throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, fear of cold, etc. If the condition is more serious, it will also lead to decreased sleep quality and changes in taste.

Although pharyngitis will not lead to throat cancer, long-term treatment will have a serious impact on life. Therefore, once symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital in time and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. In addition, you should drink more water and eat more easy-to-digest light food during treatment. Secondly, pay attention to personal hygiene, such as developing a good habit of washing hands and gargling frequently, maintaining a clean environment, opening windows for ventilation, and reducing the inhalation of dust and smoke. After the condition stabilizes, actively participate in physical exercise to improve your immune function.
