Abstract

|
|
Globus sensation is a continuous, intermittent, non-painful sensation of lumps or foreign substances in the throat. It was reported that 13.7% of patients developed globus sensations after COVID-19 infection. A 73-year-old male patient with a globus sensation after a COVID-19 infection was admitted to the ?? Oriental Medicine Hospital and treated with herbal medicine (Banhahubak-tang, Sosiho-tang). Subjective symptoms of globus sensation were measured with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) daily and found to reduce. The effect persisted during his admission. In conclusion, Korean medicine, including Banhahubak-tang, can be effective for patients with globus sensations after COVID-19 infections.
