Do you need to quit smoking for reflux pharyngitis?

If a patient has reflux pharyngitis, the patient will often experience a foreign body sensation in the throat, burning sensation, and sometimes hoarseness. If the patient then smokes, it is especially easy to aggravate the irritation of the throat mucosa, leading to the aggravation of reflux pharyngitis. Therefore, patients are advised to quit smoking to avoid irritation of the patient’s throat mucosa by substances such as sulfur dioxide, nicotine, and tar produced by smoking. Quitting smoking is not only good for patients with reflux pharyngitis, but also for all the organs of the body. Patients with reflux pharyngitis may consider taking oral Daxil to neutralize stomach acid and inhibit reflux formation. After active symptomatic treatment, a light diet and smoking cessation, the patient’s reflux pharyngitis will definitely improve.
