Bar-Bar Gala Kharab? Chronic Throat Infection Ko Samjhein
If you frequently suffer from sore throat, irritation, voice change, or difficulty swallowing, it may not be just a seasonal infection. Recurrent throat problems can indicate chronic throat infection or underlying issues like allergies, sinusitis, acid reflux (GERD), enlarged tonsils, or pollution exposure.
Many people repeatedly take antibiotics without identifying the root cause. Viral infections do not respond to antibiotics, and unnecessary medication may reduce natural immunity. Chronic throat infection can also present with persistent cough, bad breath, or a sensation of something stuck in the throat.
Acid reflux is a common but overlooked reason. When stomach acid irritates the throat lining, it leads to repeated inflammation. Similarly, untreated allergies can keep the throat inflamed for weeks.
If symptoms last more than 2–3 weeks or keep recurring, proper ENT evaluation is important. Early diagnosis ensures effective treatment and long-term relief.
