Why do I sometimes feel a clogged or stuffy sensation in my throat?
Esophagitis is a disease that can range from minor to severe. If the condition is well controlled, it will not cause too much harm to the patient's body, but if it is not properly managed, there is a risk of developing esophageal cancer. In addition to cooperating with doctors for treatment, patients with esophagitis also need to pay attention to their diet, avoiding spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods, which can worsen symptoms.
1. Feeling like there is always something blocking the throat may be caused by esophagitis.
2. Esophagitis refers to the irritation of the deep and superficial tissues of the esophageal mucosa, leading to edema, hyperemia, and even erosion of the esophageal mucosa. Patients mainly manifest as throat pain, a feeling of foreign body in the throat, acid reflux, and pain behind the sternum.
1. For this situation, it is recommended to use anti-acid medication for symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a gastroenterologist. The general treatment duration is approximately two months.
2. During this period, it is recommended to eat a light diet, avoiding greasy foods that affect gastric emptying. Eat half-full meals, sit after eating instead of lying down immediately, and slightly elevate the pillow when sleeping.
