Tightness in the throat and neck is mostly related to catching a cold, which can lead to sore throat. It may also be related to chronic pharyngitis, a chronic disease that can cause tightness in the throat and difficulty in coughing up sputum if not treated promptly. It should be noted that tumors in the throat area can also cause tightness in the throat and neck.
1. Catching a cold: The tightness in the throat may be due to catching a cold. If you feel pain in your throat and there is congestion in your throat when you open your mouth, it may also be related to upper respiratory tract infection.
2. Symptoms caused by chronic pharyngitis: Chronic pharyngitis can cause congestion, edema, and hyperplasia of lymph follicles in the mucosal and submucosal tissues of the throat, leading to dryness, itching, obstruction, tightness, and foreign body sensation in the throat. In severe cases, it can also cause irritating cough and bloody sputum. For treatment, patients can take Manyanshuling, which has good therapeutic effects. Please consult a local doctor for specific dosage. Meanwhile, patients should maintain a light diet, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods to gradually improve the condition.
3. Tightness caused by tumors in the throat: Generally, patients with malignant tumors in the throat may find cauliflower-like growths, new bioweaknesses, ulcers, fragile local tissues, and easy bleeding in any part of the throat. For treatment, a local biopsy is first required to confirm the diagnosis, followed by local surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
