Medication application to the pharynx

medication application to the throat

€5

Medication application in the throat is most often used as a preparatory step before other ENT procedures. It improves patient comfort and allows the main examination or treatment to be carried out more precisely.

When is throat mucosal numbing used?

To make procedures easier: local anesthetic is sprayed into the throat before unpleasant or painful manipulations.

To reduce reflexes: it is used for patients with a pronounced gag reflex that would otherwise interfere with examination or treatment.

To support surgical procedures: local anesthesia is needed, for example, when opening a peritonsillar abscess so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.

The medication starts working immediately by reducing local sensitivity.

After the procedure, a short-lived numb feeling or bitter taste may remain in the mouth. It is best not to eat or drink for 20 to 30 minutes after local throat anesthesia until swallowing sensitivity has fully returned.
