The harm of chronic pharyngitis
Chronic pharyngitis is a relatively common disease in otolaryngology, and overall, its harmfulness is not particularly great because the main cause of the disease is ordinary chronic inflammation. Therefore, the main harm is that it can easily cause discomfort in the throat. The more common symptoms include recurring sore throat, a foreign body sensation and burning sensation in the throat area. Some people may also experience itching in the throat and coughing. Laryngoscopic examination is a fairly routine method of examination, and in general, the severity of the condition can be assessed through laryngoscopy. Consideration should also be given to drug treatment, generally focusing on nebulization and oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as maintaining a light diet, refraining from smoking and drinking alcohol, and regular follow-up check-ups.
