The difference between chronic bronchitis and chronic pharyngitis includes the location of the lesion, the symptoms and the treatment. 1. The location of the lesion: although chronic bronchitis and chronic pharyngitis are both respiratory tract lesions, the bronchial tubes and the pharynx are located in different positions, the bronchial tubes belong to the lower respiratory tract, while the pharynx belongs to the upper respiratory tract. Therefore, the location of the lesions between chronic bronchitis and chronic pharyngitis will have a certain difference. 2. Symptoms: The common symptoms caused by chronic bronchitis mainly include coughing, coughing up sputum, wheezing, shortness of breath, fever, dyspnea and chest tightness. The main symptoms of chronic pharyngitis are dry pharynx, sore pharynx, cough, foreign body sensation in the pharynx and burning discomfort. 3. Treatment: Chronic bronchitis is mainly staged treatment, acute exacerbation needs anti-infection and symptomatic supportive treatment, remission is mainly to keep away from triggering factors. Chronic pharyngitis firstly needs to be treated for the cause of the disease, and secondly, the symptomatic use of drugs such as cediriodine tablets and watermelon cream tablets can be used for treatment, and lymphoid follicle hyperplasia can be used for lymphoid follicle partial ablation. Chronic bronchitis and chronic pharyngitis are two different diseases, individuals should pay attention to the distinction; regardless of which disease an individual suffers from, should try to do in a timely manner to seek medical treatment, under the guidance of a physician, to clarify the cause of the targeted treatment.
