About a month ago, Ms. Song, a citizen, suddenly felt uncomfortable in her throat, unable to cough or swallow, and always had a feeling of "like a fish in her throat". At first, Ms. Song thought she was suffering from pharyngitis. However, after a period of medication, the symptoms did not lessen at all. Ms. Song was a little puzzled, didn't she suffer from pharyngitis?

After the consultation, the doctor diagnosed that Ms. Song's pharyngeal dysesthesia was not pharyngitis.
Dong Liting, deputy director of the First Department of Otolaryngology of Weihai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced that when the patient came, the main manifestation was a foreign body sensation in the pharynx, feeling that there was something in the throat, and he couldn't cough it out, and he couldn't swallow it, and the pressure might be relatively large, and it was not very good to sleep at night. At that time, I did an examination, and there was no major problem with laryngoscopy and esophageal barium swallow, and the diagnosis was pharyngeal dysesthesia, which is what Chinese medicine calls plum nuclear qi, which is mainly manifested as symptomatic, but there is no organic problem. Starting from soothing the liver and regulating qi, dissolving phlegm and dissolving stasis, and also cooperating with buccal acupuncture treatment for three times, the patient's pharyngeal dysesthesia disappeared.
Pharyngeal dysesthesia is clinically common in women aged 30~40 years old, and patients usually feel a lump blockage, burning, itching, urgency, and adhesion in the pharynx or midline of the neck.
Dong Liting, deputy director of the first department of otolaryngology of Weihai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that pharyngeal dysesthesia is a common symptom of otolaryngology, and pharyngeal dysesthesia is actually very related to mood and sleep, and it is necessary to adjust living habits, emotions, and work and rest rules.
After clinical examination of the throat, trachea, esophagus, and neck excludes organic lesions, patients have abnormal sensations in the pharynx, which may often be caused by cerebral dysfunction. Patients with a longer period of illness often have mental symptoms such as anxiety, irritability and nervousness, and have a "fear of cancer".
Dong Liting, deputy director of the Department of Otolaryngology of Weihai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the symptoms may fluctuate with the change of mood, and the mild symptoms only need to adjust the mood, work and rest rules, and the symptoms can also be eliminated, but if it is serious, it may be ineffective to rely on self-regulation, so you can use some traditional Chinese medicine methods: traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion to intervene.
