There are many causes that can induce foreign body sensation in the throat, and different diseases are treated differently, so it is impossible to say exactly which treatment is the best and finest.
In general, patients with foreign body sensation in the throat need to pay attention to quitting smoking and alcohol, avoiding contact with dust and other environments that irritate the throat, establishing good rest and eating habits, while avoiding excessive use of the voice, and if you need to speak for a long time, you need to promptly replenish water.
In addition, we need to take appropriate treatment according to the specific cause.
In case of acute laryngitis, the main measure is vocal rest, and treatment requires no or little vocalization. Depending on the infecting agent, antiviral drugs or antibiotics may be used, and glucocorticoids may be added for congested and swollen vocal cords.
In the case of GERD caused by pharyngitis, dietary changes are the first treatment of choice for the disease, along with the combination of acid-suppressing drugs and H2-blockers. Surgical treatment has been controversial and is not the main treatment method.
If it is caused by pharyngeal tonsillar hypertrophy, active treatment of the primary disease and drug treatment is not necessary when the patient has mild symptoms. If there are recurrent pharyngeal tonsillar infections that cannot be cured with antibacterial drugs, or if they lead to sleep breathing disorders, surgical treatment is required.
In summary, if a patient has a foreign body sensation in the throat, it is recommended to seek medical attention to clarify the diagnosis and choose the appropriate means of treatment under the guidance of a physician.
