The symptoms of chronic pharyngitis are also known as ‘梅核气’. It is an uncomfortable feeling in the throat, because it is an inflammation, and the lymph nodes are a key tissue of the immune system, so it can cause inflammation or hyperplasia of the lymph nodes around the throat. The throat and tongue are rich in lymphoid tissue, and when they are inflamed, they need to participate in the immune response, which is the hyperplasia of the lingual lymphoid follicles. The lingual lymphoid follicles are the lymphoid tissue of the body, and the tonsillitis, reproductive organs, etc. in the throat are also lymphoid tissue. Normally, the lingual lymphoid follicles are not prominent, but when there is inflammation in the throat, they become hyperplastic and thickened, which is what we often call the hyperplasia of the lingual lymphoid follicles in clinical medicine.

Methods:

5. Patients with lymphoid follicle hyperplasia often feel an uncomfortable sensation, a tingling sensation in the throat, but the cough cannot come out and the phlegm cannot be swallowed, causing great discomfort to the patient. They often feel sticky phlegm sticking to the throat, and when the mood and weather change, the patient’s throat may have a strong smell.

4. Patients with lymphoid follicle hyperplasia often feel dry throat and mouth, dry cough, hoarseness, and chest tightness and shortness of breath, as well as symptoms such as shortness of breath. Patients with lymphoid follicle hyperplasia also often have symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, irritability, nausea and vomiting, night sweats, excessive dreams, and dry throat.

3. The use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat lingual lymphoid follicle hyperplasia has a unique effect on the symptoms of lingual lymphoid follicle hyperplasia, such as dry throat, sore throat, hoarseness, cough, etc. Generally, patients will have significant effects within 7-10 days, and the symptoms such as swelling and hematoma of the lymphoid follicles and hoarseness will basically subside within a cycle.
