👉 Dephlegmatory is a medical term used to describe a process in which the pharynx (the tube that connects the nose and mouth) becomes narrowed, making it difficult for saliva to flow back into the mouth. This condition can be caused by various factors such as infection or injury to the pharynx, and it can sometimes lead to difficulty swallowing. Dephlegmatory symptoms may include a sensation of fullness in the throat, a dry or sore throat, and difficulty swallowing
