What illnesses can cause nausea when brushing teeth in the morning?
Nausea when brushing teeth in the morning is generally caused by chronic pharyngitis, chronic rhinopharyngitis, neurosis, and other diseases. Treatment through medication can be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.
Chronic Pharyngitis: Excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, or throat use can lead to chronic inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa, making it sensitive. Brushing teeth can stimulate the pharyngeal mucosa's reflex, causing dry heaves. Medications such as Yanyan Pian (Pharyngitis Tablets), Houjiling Capsules, and Qinghou Liyan Granules can be prescribed by a doctor for treatment.
Chronic Rhinopharyngitis: Chronic rhinopharyngitis is usually caused by bacterial and viral infections. The disease can lead to mucus secretions on the posterior wall of the pharynx, causing congestion, edema, erosion, and other symptoms of the posterior wall mucosa. Brushing teeth can stimulate the posterior wall of the pharynx, causing nausea. Medications such as Pudilan Xiaoyan Koufuye (Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Solution), Penicillin V Potassium Tablets, and Amoxicillin Capsules can be prescribed by a doctor for treatment.
Neurosis: Neurosis is usually caused by excessive nervous tension and irregular lifestyles, often manifesting as anxiety, fear, and other symptoms, accompanied by obsessive thoughts and behaviors. If you dislike the taste of toothpaste, nausea and vomiting may occur when brushing teeth. Medications such as Paroxetine Hydrochloride Tablets, Oryzanol Tablets, and Mecobalamin Tablets can be prescribed by a doctor for treatment.
Besides the above common causes, it may also be caused by reflux esophagitis. Medications such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules and Itopride Hydrochloride Capsules can be used under the guidance of a doctor to improve symptoms of the disease.
