What’s wrong with clearing your throat a lot?

A more common clinical condition that often clears the throat is chronic pharyngitis. This kind of patients may experience dryness in the throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, and tightness in the throat. The patient’s frequent and repeated throat clearing may be mainly related to the irritation of secretions in the pharynx. During clinical examination, dark red congestion in the pharynx and hyperplasia of lymphoid follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall and tongue root can be seen. In this case, the patient is advised to go to the ENT department for an electronic laryngoscopy. If the diagnosis is chronic pharyngitis, you can use tablets for pharyngitis, take oral Chinese medicine preparations for pharyngitis, and usually drink more warm water. Some patients have reflux pharyngitis, which may be related to acid reflux in the patient’s gastroesophagus, etc. In this case, it is recommended that the patient can go to the gastroenterology department for symptomatic treatment with acid-suppressing drugs. Patients are advised to eat a light diet and eat less greasy and stimulating food.
