Throat congestion and hiccups

Throat congestion and hiccups are often associated with reflux disease, inflammatory disease, neoplastic disease, and thyroid disease. After clear diagnosis through electronic laryngoscopy, ultrasound and other examinations and reasonable treatment given according to the cause, the prognosis can usually be improved. Common causes and related treatments are as follows: 1. Reflux diseases: such as reflux pharyngitis, reflux esophagitis, etc. Due to upward reflux of gastric contents mixed with stomach acid, resulting in blockage of the digestive tract and damage to the mucosa, it mostly manifests as burping, acid reflux, belching and other symptoms. In this case, you should take acid-suppressing drugs for symptomatic treatment, such as omeprazole, under the guidance of a professional doctor. In addition, the daily diet should be a light diet, do not lie down immediately after eating, and sleep with the pillow slightly higher; 2. Inflammatory diseases: such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, etc. The former, due to inflammation and swelling, in addition to throat congestion, there can also be obvious foreign body sensation.

Under the guidance of the doctor, Chinese medicine can be taken for treatment, such as compound double flower tablets, nourishing yin and clearing lung granules, etc. Normally, you need to eat a reasonable diet, avoid spicy and stimulating food, and eat more light and easy-to-digest diet, otherwise it will stimulate the mucous membrane of the throat, aggravate the disease and is not good for health; 3. If the throat blockage is accompanied by dysphagia, eating can not be swallowed, and there is recent weight loss, this situation is best to go to the hospital immediately to do some tests. Treatment is usually surgical removal; 4. Thyroid disease: such as thyroid hyperplasia, hypertrophy, swelling, etc., can also make patients feel throat blockage. In daily life, you can eat more foods that are good for the thyroid gland, such as milk and eggs, and supplemented with necessary medication and surgery.
