Symptoms of allergic pharyngitis

summary

Definition of allergic pharyngitis: at present, there is no accepted definition of AP. We can learn from ye Jingying's description of the pathogenesis of AP and the definition of allergic rhinitis. At the same time, considering the characteristics of submucosal neuroinflammation and increased sensitivity after pharyngeal mucosal injury, combined with previous observation. AP is a chronic inflammatory disease of pharyngeal mucosa, mucosal lymphoid tissue and nerve fibers, which is released by IgE mediated mediators and involved in a variety of immunocompetent cells and cytokines after allergic individuals contact with allergens. Symptoms of allergic pharyngitis? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of allergic pharyngitis

Throat itching, irritating, paroxysmal dry cough; Secondary symptoms: pharyngeal foreign body sensation, hoarseness, pharynx swelling, sore throat; AP will be accompanied by obvious pharyngeal itching, but it is often covered by cough symptoms. Pharyngeal itching seems to have brush caress or ant line feeling. Some patients can clearly point out the location of pharyngeal itching, including laryngopharynx, nasopharynx and oropharynx.

The color of pharyngeal mucosa was light; The surface is watered and wetted; The proliferation of lymphoid follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall was mild, the lateral pharyngeal cord was thickened, the uvula was edematous, and the teeth on the lateral edge of the tongue were indented (swelling of the tongue). Lymphofollicular hyperplasia in the posterior pharyngeal wall is common in most chronic pharyngitis. However, the pharyngeal mucosa caused by allergic reaction is extensive swelling, the color of the mucosa is light, and the teeth indentation on the side edge of the tongue is obvious in most patients.

Accompanied with or had suffered from allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, urticaria, allergic conjunctivitis. Skin allergen origin prick test, serum specific IgE detection, pharyngeal mucosa allergen provocation test (there is no reference standard and literature for allergic pharyngitis provocation test at present. Based on bronchial provocation test, nasal mucosa provocation test and conjunctival provocation test, pharyngeal mucosa provocation test is feasible in theory, but it needs to be developed and improved)

matters needing attention

1. Carry out proper physical exercise, keep healthy and regular work and rest, light diet, keep oral cavity clean, avoid the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol, keep a good attitude, so as to improve their overall immunity. 2.
