Patient: Description of condition (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): My husband is a doctor, engaged in interventional work, will be frequently exposed to radiation, suffering from chronic pharyngitis for nearly 20 years, the last 10 years began to frequent throat-clearing cough, uttering, as a family member, deeply disturbed, and their own uncomfortable. The specific symptoms are: 1. Many granular lymph nodes in the neck can be touched. I feel up and uncomfortable. 2, except for sleep, basically 2-3 minutes coughing a few times, utter utter, the sound is so loud that people in the supermarket basically can not walk lost, follow the sound can find him, huh; 3, feel dry and itchy throat; 4, the symptoms will be reduced in a good rest; 5, sometimes eat do not know what things will be allergic, eat Keratan will get better. I don’t know when there is a connection. Other aspects of the body are good good, 1, a few years ago ate a period of antibiotics, useless; 2, the year before last a period of time to clear the fire of Chinese medicine, useless. 1, I hope to be able to diagnose whether it is chronic pharyngitis through the description of symptoms. I hope to be able to confirm the diagnosis of chronic pharyngitis by the description of the symptoms, whether it is necessary to go to the hospital to confirm the diagnosis; 2. This problem has been bothering me for many years, thank you. Xu Chengzhi: The symptoms can basically determine the chronic pharyngitis, Shanghai air is bad, the majority of people have, but many people are mild, usually no discomfort will not mind, chronic pharyngitis is also considered one of the occupational diseases of doctors, teachers, usually work hard, more speech. The actual fact is that there is no way to change the cause (including air pollution, the nature of work, etc.), so chronic pharyngitis is impossible to cure, only to control. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and popular items. 2, try to avoid tobacco and alcohol, spicy and sour cold diet stimulation. 3, you can use some Chinese medicine punch 1-2 months to regulate (a lot of kinds, recommended punch), antibiotics only sore throat obvious or accompanied by fever and other symptoms of infection to use. The symptoms are a little better try to hold back from coughing and clearing your throat, this is a chronic pharyngitis patient habitual action, clearing your throat will be comfortable, but a very bad habit, the chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane will be continuously stimulated and tossed around. Finally to say, relax, but do not have to look forward too much to the root cause, generally will not have much to do with, wish you and your family health! Patient: Thank you very much Dr. Xu for your detailed reply! Xu Chengzhi: Don’t mention it, it’s a small effort!
