Pharynx

Pharyngeal paraesthesia is called Meiheqi in Chinese medicine. It has been recorded similar to this disease as early as the Sui Dynasty. At present clinically, the term pharyngeal paraesthesia is often used to refer to various abnormal pharyngeal sensations other than pain, such as hallucinations, bulbous sensations, antagonism, etc., which is one of the main complaints commonly encountered in clinical work. Most of the patients are middle-aged people, and more common in women. Because of the foreign body sensation in the throat, there are not a few patients who suspect a tumor. In the early stages of some tumors, such as post-ring cancer and upper esophageal cancer, there may be symptoms of foreign body sensation in the throat. If they are not alert, they may easily be misdiagnosed. Therefore, a detailed examination of the diagnosis of pharyngeal heterosis is performed to prevent misdiagnosis and misdiagnosis.
