First of all, the invasion of external evil is one of the most common triggers, and the evil of wind cold and wind heat invades the throat, causing redness, swelling and pain in the pharynx. Secondly, the dysfunction of the internal organs is also a key factor, and the dysfunction of the lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys and other internal organs leads to the dystrophy of the pharynx and is susceptible to the invasion of external evils. In addition, poor mood, poor diet, overwork, etc. will also affect the function of the viscera and induce chronic pharyngitis.
