Causes and treatment of reflux throat similar to corona symptoms

"Suspected COVID disease

Acid reflux throat"

Disease Exploration

In these days of the corona epidemic, if you are about to sneeze suddenly, you will be aware of your surroundings. It's the season to catch a cold, but you have to be careful not to catch a cold. I don't want to arouse unwarranted suspicion. 

It's not even a cold, but there is a common illness that is suspected to be Corona. It's called 'reflux throat'. Dr. Lee Sang-hoon, director of Komoki ENT Department, said on Rainhoo Live, "Among the common ENT diseases, reflux throat is easy to suspect Corona." 

Acid reflux throat is a disease caused by stomach contents passing into the esophagus upside down and irritating the pharynx and larynx.  

The main symptom of acid reflux is a foreign body sensation in the throat, as if something is stuck in the throat. Because of the feeling of being stuck in your throat, you have to cough "loudly" to cool your throat. 

I don't have a fever or a sore throat, but because of my cough, it's easy to suspect that I might have COVID at this time. It's hard to tell the difference between coughing and bronchitis, which is a common tonsillitis or a cough.

However, reflux throat is different from a normal cough. This is because it is not a cough that comes out spontaneously, but a cough that is done on purpose. In general, coughing is an unbearable cough that occurs unknowingly, but the cough of reflux throat is a cough that deliberately tries to ease the throat due to the feeling of a foreign body in the throat.
