Why does my throat feel stuck after taking diet pills?

Losing weight is a very popular thing in life, because obesity is a very serious problem among modern people, which puts a lot of pressure on the body and causes many people to suffer from chronic diseases. Therefore, losing weight is an activity that most people prefer. Diet pills have also come into being, but why does your throat feel clogged after taking them? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

The feeling of a blockage in the throat after taking diet pills is a sign of chronic pharyngitis.

(1) Chronic simple pharyngitis can be treated by gargling with compound borax, furazolidone solution, etc. to keep the mouth and pharynx clean; or taking iodine lozenges, mint lozenges, etc. to treat chronic pharyngitis; Chinese medicine preparations also have a certain effect on chronic pharyngitis; compound iodine glycerin, 5% silver nitrate solution or 10% weak protein silver solution can be applied to the pharynx topically, which has astringent and anti-inflammatory effects; ultrasonic nebulization can relieve the symptoms of chronic pharyngitis; antibiotic treatment is generally not required.

(2) Chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis is more difficult to treat and can be treated with reference to chronic simple pharyngitis. In addition to the above methods, the raised lymph follicles on the posterior pharyngeal wall can also be treated with chemical drugs or electrocoagulation, freezing or laser therapy. Chemical drugs often use 20% silver nitrate or chromic acid solution to burn enlarged lymph follicles. Electrocoagulation is rarely used nowadays due to its many side effects. Laser or radiofrequency therapy is often used to treat the posterior pharyngeal wall lymph follicles. The above methods of treating lymph follicles may increase mucosal scarring and may aggravate symptoms. In addition, ultrasonic atomization therapy, local ultraviolet irradiation and diathermy therapy also have auxiliary effects on hypertrophic pharyngitis.

(3) Atrophic and dry pharyngitis are generally treated the same as chronic simple pharyngitis, but cauterization should not be used. Small doses of iodine can be taken or applied topically to the throat to promote increased secretion of the mucosal epithelium; ultrasonic nebulization therapy can also relieve dryness symptoms. Taking vitamins A, B2, C, and E can promote the growth of pharyngeal mucosal epithelial tissue. For patients with dry pharyngitis, caution should be exercised when considering tonsillectomy to avoid worsening of the condition after surgery.

(4) For chronic allergic pharyngitis, avoid contact with various possible allergens, use antihistamines or mast cell stabilizers, and apply glucocorticoids and immunomodulators locally or systemically for a short period of time.
