What causes a cool sensation and feeling of a foreign body in the throat, and what should be done about it?

In general, a cool sensation in the throat accompanied by a foreign body feeling is commonly caused by chronic pharyngitis, chronic rhinitis, tonsillitis, and other conditions. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Chronic Pharyngitis

This condition is usually caused by bacterial infection, poor dietary habits, and other factors. After onset, patients may experience symptoms such as dryness, sore throat, and a sensation of a foreign body in the throat. Some patients may also feel a cold sensation in the throat. Patients can take medications such as Yinhuan Jiangsuhua Tablets or Jinsheng Qingyin Pills as directed by a physician.

2. Chronic Rhinitis

Chronic rhinitis is typically caused by malnutrition, long-term smoking, and similar factors. After developing the condition, patients may experience a cold sensation in the throat. Under medical guidance, patients can use medications such as Biyan Ning Capsules or Biyuanshu Oral Liquid for treatment.

3. Tonsillitis

The main local symptoms include severe sore throat, which often radiates to the ear, along with difficulty swallowing or pain during swallowing, and may lead to swelling of the submandibular lymph nodes. Systemic symptoms include chills, high fever, headache, decreased appetite, general malaise, or fatigue. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may use medications such as Cefalexin Dry Suspension or Procaine Penicillin for Injection for treatment.

Besides the above-mentioned causes, this sensation could also result from conditions such as carotid arteritis, sinusitis, or malignant tumors. It is recommended that patients visit the otorhinolaryngology department at a hospital for examination and actively cooperate with medical treatment.
