Will nose discharge into the throat lead to laryngeal cancer?

Can nasal discharge into the throat turn into laryngeal cancer?

Nasal discharge into the throat will not cause laryngeal cancer, but it will cause adverse irritation to the throat. In severe cases, symptoms such as pharyngitis, nasopharyngitis, and bronchitis may occur.

When nasal mucus flows back into the throat, it will not cause cancer, nor will it increase the incidence of laryngeal cancer. However, it will cause varying degrees of inflammation in the throat and a cough reflex, during which the patient will cough frequently. If chronic nasal reflux persists for a long time, it will irritate the nose, pharynx and other parts, leading to hyperplasia of mucosal lymphoid tissue and lymph follicles, ultimately increasing the incidence of pharyngitis, nasopharyngitis and bronchitis. During this period, symptoms such as itchy throat, cough and sore throat may occur.

For patients with mild runny nose, regular nasal cleaning with saline can reduce runny nose in the nasal cavity, increase the frequency of runny nose entering the throat, and reduce the continuous irritation of the throat by runny nose. If there is a lot of throat secretion, you need to consult a doctor for oral antibiotic treatment, such as amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin tablets, etc. Rational use of medication can reduce nasal secretion and improve discomfort such as dry throat and itching.

Once the mucus flows into the throat in life, you should pay attention to your hygiene, consult a doctor for appropriate treatment, arrange your daily diet, and avoid eating raw, cold and irritating foods.
