Salty water in the throat caused by coughing may be caused by chronic pharyngitis, sinusitis and acid reflux stimulation, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner to improve the relevant examination to clarify.
1. Chronic pharyngitis: mostly caused by factors such as bad habits and repeated episodes of acute pharyngitis. Inflammatory stimulation can lead to pharyngeal mucosal congestion, lymphoid follicular hyperplasia in the posterior wall of the pharynx, and a small amount of mucous secretion attached to the mucosal surface, which may lead to symptoms of coughing caused by salty water in the throat.
2. Sinusitis: mostly due to bacterial, fungal or viral infections caused by sinus infections, resulting in a large amount of secretions in the nasal cavity, and if the nasal discharge backs up to the throat, it may also lead to the phenomenon of coughing caused by salty water in the throat.
3. Gastric acid reflux: If the patient has gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastric acid refluxes into the esophagus, stimulating the sensory nerve endings in the esophagus, and then passes to the trachea to cause coughing, which manifests itself as a salty watery coughing phenomenon in the throat.
Salty water in the throat cough may also be caused by other reasons, it is recommended to go to the hospital to identify the cause of the disease, and give targeted treatment.
