Does pharyngitis cause blockage when eating?

Anyone who has had pharyngitis knows the feeling that the throat feels like it is choked. You can't speak, and even swallowing saliva makes your throat sore, let alone eating. People with pharyngitis feel as if their throats are blocked when they eat, and they cannot swallow, so they usually eat so-called liquid food, such as porridge, soup, etc. Although pharyngitis is not a serious disease, it causes severe pain and can cause certain troubles in life.

First, pharyngitis causes difficulty in swallowing:

Pharyngitis can cause esophageal pain when swallowing food. The main symptoms of acute pharyngitis are: acute onset, dryness and burning in the throat at the beginning; followed by pain. The pain in the throat is often more obvious when swallowing saliva than when eating, and may be accompanied by hoarseness and cough. Painful swallowing is one of the symptoms of acute pharyngitis, which is common in people who are addicted to smoking and drinking, are often tired, and are depressed. In addition, people who have poor working and living environment, lack of sunlight, or contact with irritating substances, lack of exercise, and have poor adaptability to adverse stimuli such as cold, heat, humidity, and dryness are more likely to get acute pharyngitis.

Common symptoms of secondary pharyngitis include:

1. Throat discomfort : including foreign body sensation, burning sensation, dryness, and some even have a dull pain. The above discomfort is particularly obvious after talking and singing a lot. The symptoms can be alleviated or disappear after rest.

2. Accompanied by sore throat and pain when swallowing , which occurs after a cold and fever, it may be acute pharyngitis. If the sore throat is severe and does not heal for a long time, you should consider the possibility of laryngeal tuberculosis or malignant tumor.

It can be seen that pharyngitis attacks can cause esophageal pain when swallowing food.

Third, what are the dangers of pharyngitis?

1. The symptoms of acute pharyngitis include sore throat, fever, fear of cold, headache, body aches, poor appetite, dry stool, thirst and other systemic poisoning reactions. When there is a bacterial infection, the number of white blood cells in the blood increases. If the throat pain is severe, it will affect swallowing and cause nutritional and metabolic disorders in the body.

2. Patients with chronic pharyngitis will experience discomfort in the throat, aggravated throat pain and burning sensation, and itchy throat causing bouts of irritating coughing, which will affect their rest. Dry or atrophic pharyngitis will cause obvious dryness in the throat, and it will be difficult to speak and swallow saliva. People need to drink water frequently to moisten the throat, and even need to get up several times at night to drink water. However, this can only temporarily relieve the symptoms, and the throat will soon feel dry again. Some people need soup to swallow dry and hard food during meals.

Usually, the most common symptom for patients with pharyngitis during the onset of pharyngitis is esophageal pain caused by swallowing food. Therefore, to a certain extent, swallowing food will cause esophageal pain in patients with pharyngitis.
