Nasopharyngeal dryness and difficulty in swallowing are generally considered to be related to inflammatory stimuli, which can be seen in colds, rhinitis, pharyngitis and other diseases.
1. Colds: Cold and irregular work and rest can lead to rhinovirus, adenovirus and other viruses invading into the nasopharyngeal mucosa and causing colds. Inflammation caused by viral infection can lead to different degrees of damage to the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx, triggering dryness of the nasopharynx, swallowing is difficult, etc., can be accompanied by nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose and other cold symptoms.
2. Rhinitis: Decreased immunity can lead to bacteria and other pathogens invade the nasal mucosa and cause rhinitis. Inflammatory secretions in the nasal cavity during rhinitis can flow into the nasopharynx through the postnasal cavity, stimulating the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx to cause dryness of the nasopharynx, swallowing is difficult to swallow, etc., which can be accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, and headache and other symptoms of rhinitis.
3. Pharyngitis: Irregular diet, cold, tobacco and alcohol stimulation and other factors can lead to bacteria and other pathogens invade into the pharyngeal mucosa to trigger pharyngitis. When pharyngitis is not effectively controlled, the inflammation can go up to the nasopharynx to trigger dryness in the nasopharynx, difficulty in swallowing and sore throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, hoarseness and coughing.
Dryness of the nose and throat joints and difficulty in swallowing, need to consult the ENT department to clarify the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
