Reflux pharyngitis, as the name suggests, is a type of pharyngitis caused by reflux of contents in the esophagus and stomach to the throat. Its common symptoms are mainly pharyngeal discomfort, foreign body sensation in the pharyngeal, sore throat, and some patients may experience hoarseness, throat discomfort.
The lesions of reflux pharyngitis are actually not in the throat. Because of the esophageal sphincter dysfunction, food in the stomach, together with digestive fluid, refluxes upward to the throat, causing discomfort in this area, often with foreign body sensation in the throat, pain, cough, difficulty pronunciation, hoarseness and even asthma . In severe cases, oral odor, difficulty breathing, etc.
Many patients are often misdiagnosed as common pharyngitis, and the wrong treatment method cannot cure the root cause. The reflux of digestive fluid stimulates the mucosa of the throat, which can cause precancerous lesions for a long time. Therefore, reflux pharyngitis has not been seen for a thousand years and can also develop into throat cancer or esophageal cancer. When reflux pharyngitis occurs, further examination of the stomach and esophageal condition is needed. If gastric and esophageal diseases are found, active treatment of gastric and esophageal diseases should be carried out.
