What Causes the Feeling of a Blocked Throat, and What Should I Do?
The feeling of a blocked throat may be caused by acute tonsillitis, acute pharyngitis, reflux pharyngitis, etc. Drug therapy, surgical treatment, and other methods can be selected to alleviate it.
Acute Tonsillitis: Acute tonsillitis is caused by low immunity and bacterial infection. After infection, the tonsil tissue becomes congested and swollen, blocking the throat, causing symptoms such as difficulty in swallowing and breathing, accompanied by significant pain. We need to follow the doctor's advice and take medications such as Amoxicillin Capsules, Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets, and Azithromycin Capsules. If the condition recurs frequently, tonsillectomy can also be performed.
Acute Pharyngitis: Acute pharyngitis is usually caused by bacterial infection and improper use of voice. Excessive inflammation stimulating the throat area can cause a foreign body sensation, accompanied by pain, cough, expectoration of sputum, and other symptoms. Penicillin V Potassium Tablets, Erythromycin Capsules, Cefalexin Capsules, and other medications should be taken under the doctor's guidance.
Reflux Pharyngitis: Reflux pharyngitis is an inflammatory reaction caused by the reflux of gastric contents into the throat. Patients may experience hoarseness, sore throat, and other symptoms. Excessive stimulation of the throat mucosa can also cause mucosal swelling. Follow the doctor's advice to take medications such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules, Domperidone Tablets, and Lansoprazole Enteric-coated Tablets.
In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by laryngeal polyps. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a formal hospital promptly.
