Pharyngitis is a typical ear, nose and throat disease. It is also relatively common in life and will affect the patient's daily life. There are many causes of pharyngitis. Seasonal changes may be one of the triggers, and it may also be due to physical health conditions. What are the factors that cause pharyngitis? 1. Nasopharyngeal inflammation During the acute inflammation stage of the nasopharynx, the patient will have a dry and painful feeling. At the same time, the vasodilation during the inflammation period will cause the patient to have a little blood in the mucus when he or she spits it out. 2. Oropharyngeal inflammation Symptoms of inflammation in the oropharynx are mostly acute tonsillitis and acute pharyngitis, both of which are often related to colds. When the tonsils are acutely inflamed, the patient feels sore throat and has moderate or high fever. In severe cases, the tonsils may swell and become festered. The onset of acute pharyngitis is generally rapid. 3. Laryngitis Inflammations of the laryngopharynx are mostly acute epiglottitis and acute laryngitis. Acute epiglottitis is one of the common critical diseases in otolaryngology. Most patients feel severe pain in the throat and are even afraid to swallow food. There is a watery sound when they speak. At the same time, there is a feeling of blockage in the throat. Severe cases can lead to breathing difficulties and endanger life. If you encounter this situation, you must go to the hospital emergency room as soon as possible. When acute laryngitis occurs, the patient also has throat pain and a foreign body sensation in the throat, but there is an obvious difference from acute epiglottitis. The patient's voice is hoarse and not watery. 4. Others Pathogenic microorganisms: including bacteria, viruses, spirochetes, rickettsia, etc., are the main causes of acute pharyngitis, which can come directly from the air and diet, or indirectly from the blood circulation and lymphatic circulation. |
