Coughing up phlegm in the throat may be related to chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis, chronic atrophic pharyngitis and reflux pharyngitis. According to the cause of the disease and the degree of the disease, general treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment should be chosen.
1. Chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis: the pharyngeal mucosa is hyperplastic and hypertrophic, and the mucus is sticky and not easy to cough out. Compound borax gargle solution can be used to gargle, 5% silver nitrate solution or 10% weak protein silver solution coated with the posterior wall of the pharynx, oral aminobromine, acetylcysteine and other phlegm treatment, but also auxiliary use of ultrasonic nebulization therapy, local ultraviolet irradiation and hyperthermia treatment.
2. Chronic atrophic pharyngitis: the mucous membrane and glands of the pharynx are atrophied, and the mucous membrane of the posterior wall of the pharynx is often covered with sticky mucus or foul-smelling yellowish-brown scabs that are difficult to cough up. Constipation and indigestion should be corrected, and dust and harmful gas inhalation should be avoided. On the basis of the above treatment methods, supplementation of multivitamins and iron, zinc and other trace elements.
3. Reflux pharyngitis: under the stimulation of gastric reflux, it is easy to lead to edema of the mucous membrane of the throat and increase the secretion of the glands, which will lead to the symptoms mentioned above. In the treatment of chronic pharyngitis, increase oral lansoprazole and other acid-suppressing drugs and mosapride and other gastrointestinal dynamics drugs. For those who cannot control their reflux with conservative treatment, various types of fundoplication may be an option.
