Hello Friends! I am Dr Ajay Jain, your host and ENT Specialist working in New Delhi. Today, I am going to discuss Chronic Granular Pharyngitis. means a disease affecting the throat where red bumps form over the pharyngeal wall. It causes pain in the throat and has many causes to account for. The throat is a junction for both food and Air. So, the Throat is affected by many things. Topping above the list is an infection which included Viral, bacterial or fungal. Reflux: The acid which comes from stomach to mouth, irritates the throat a lot. It often does this job silently and this is a very common cause. Then, Mechanical trauma. Many persons speak a lot or their job demands to speak a lot. Increased duration of mouth opening causes dryness. These vibrations and dryness causes microinjury in throat mucosa at the subtle level Post Nasal drip: the mucus or nasal discharge falling from the back of the nose into the throat irritates the throat a lot. Nasal allergies also affect the pharynx. Dental issues: If your dental hygiene is not good or if you are having caries or a gum issue like gingivitis or pyorrhea or food impaction issues in between teeth, then it may irritate the throat or bad odour. Whenever you chew with bad caries, then bacteria may enter blood circulation also. If your tonsil crypts have debris or food impaction, then the infection may set in If you are smoking or chewing tobacco products, then it has its side effects apart from cancer formation. Such patients are having bronchitis also and keep coughing. This expectoration also irritates the throat. If you have an old cough, then coughing per se also causes inflammation in the throat. Food Allergy: These days, there is adulteration found in common food also. That is why even food cooked at home don't suit us. Food taken very hot or very chilled doesn't suit the throat as the body wants food temperature to be close to body temperature. If you take too much spicy food, then spices can cause hyperacidity or can cause an allergic reaction in the throat. So far, we have discussed that throat is at the junction of air and food transfer in which Infections, acid reflux, post-nasal drip, cough, mechanical trauma, excess speaking, smoking, tobacco chewing, poor dental hygiene, tonsillar infection etc irritates the throat. So, If these factors are for few weeks, then the throat will be bad for few weeks only and will recover once these factors go away. In most viral infections, the throat recovers itself, yet most of us take antibiotics thinking it to cure viral sore throat. But if any of the factors are present for a very long time, then the throat will not recover so easily. As you can see in the picture, the red bumps in the throat mean that the cause of irritation in the throat is long-standing. If you visit the doctor once or twice with these bumps, these may respond partially and only return after few days. So, this is recommended that you follow up with your ENT doctor in case of chronic granular pharyngitis. and treat all the factors mentioned here to keep your throat healthy for a long term successful outcome. So, Antibiotics use for infection alone will not treat most throat irritation. If you have dehydration, you need to drink a lot of water to rehydrate yourself. If you have an excess speaking job then it is necessary to take voice rest intermittently. If your dental hygiene is poor, then consult your dentist. If you have cold/ sinusitis, then visit ENT Doctor to rule out undergoing sinusitis and causes of nose blockage. If you have naso-bronchial allergies, then you need to take an anti-allergic pill but do not take excess anti-allergic pills as these also dehydrate the lining of the throat. You can make a better throat by keeping these com… #GranularPharyngitis #ChronicPharyngitis #GalemeLalDaane #StrepThroat #PostCovidThroatirriation #GERD #PostNasalDrip #Throatirritation #Foreignbodysensationthroat #GlobusThroat #GalaKharabRahna
