Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello!
I feel uncomfortable in my throat, as if something is stuck there, and I always have the sensation of having just eaten chili peppers. The otolaryngologist said there was nothing wrong and it was just mild pharyngitis.
Additionally, I have been experiencing itching in my external genital area. After visiting a gynecologist, the result was bacterial vaginosis. Later, I started treating the vaginosis first. After 6 days of treatment, the vaginosis was cured. To my surprise, the discomfort in my throat also disappeared once the vaginosis was treated.
I would like to ask: Can vaginosis cause discomfort in the throat? Why did the throat discomfort disappear after the vaginosis was cured?
Doctor's answer:
Mycoplasma infection can not only cause pneumonia but also lead to pharyngitis. Your current symptoms are manifestations of pharyngitis, so it is recommended to continue with your treatment. The cause of this condition is long-term consumption of spicy food, staying up late, and other unhealthy lifestyle habits. You can use some heat-clearing and detoxifying medications, such as Qingre Jiedu Koufuye.
