What’s wrong with a dry throat?

Dryness of the throat is most commonly seen clinically in chronic pharyngitis, but may also be dry syndrome, as well as thyroid-related diseases. In the case of chronic pharyngitis, some patients also experience discomfort such as foreign body sensation in the throat, tingling sensation in the throat and burning sensation in the throat. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital to do an electronic nasopharyngoscopy to make a clear diagnosis, and then symptomatic treatment, you can orally take some proprietary Chinese medicines, such as sweet tangerine and bing-mei tablets, blue scutellaria oral solution and so on. If it is dry syndrome, the patient will also have symptoms such as dry eyes and dry mouth, which is an autoimmune disease and needs to go to the rheumatology and immunology department for treatment. If it is a thyroid-related disease, the patient will have abnormal thyroid function or thyroid tumor, which needs to improve the blood laboratory examination of thyroid function, as well as ultrasound, CT, magnetic resonance and other related examinations of the thyroid gland.
