Drinking without pain in the throat and eating without pain in the throat may be related to chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis, chronic tonsillitis and reflux pharyngitis and other diseases.
1. Chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis: mostly caused by the gradual aggravation of chronic simple pharyngitis, the pharyngeal wall mucosa is congested and thickened, and there is a wide range of connective and lymphatic tissue hyperplasia in the mucosa and submucosa. When you drink, the liquid flows down with gravity and has a weak effect on the pharyngeal nerves, but when you eat, it expands and squeezes the pharyngeal wall, which stimulates the nerves and produces a slight pain, resulting in the above symptoms.
2. Chronic tonsillitis: mainly triggered by repeated episodes of acute tonsillitis, this disease can also be characterized by the above symptoms, and the pathogenic mechanism is similar to chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis.
3. Reflux pharyngitis: gastric contents reflux to the throat, corrosion of the mucosa causing chronic reaction. When drinking water, the esophagus opens liquid downflow to play a flushing effect, can be painless. When eating, the esophagus will expand the esophageal inlet and friction around the hypopharyngeal mucosa, resulting in a sore throat.
When the phenomenon of drinking without pain in the throat and eating without pain in the throat occurs, you can actively consult a doctor for examination to clarify the diagnosis and cause of the disease.
