Li Yunying, director of the Department of Otolaryngology of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that the weather is relatively cold during the Spring Festival, coupled with the lack of regularity in people's lives during the festival, most people are busy with socializing, visiting relatives and friends, playing and partying, not resting enough, and their physical condition is not good, so the incidence of pharyngitis is high.
According to statistics, during the Spring Festival and after the holiday, there was a significant increase in the number of patients who saw laryngitis in the outpatient and emergency departments of otolaryngology. To prevent the onset of laryngitis, pay attention to oral hygiene. The throat is the "pathway" for air and food to enter, so you should brush your teeth frequently, and rinse your mouth with light salt water in the morning and evening, which can clean and moisten the mucosa of the throat, improve the pharyngeal environment, and prevent bacterial infection. If laryngitis attacks, topical gargle, aerosol inhalation, lozenges, etc. can be used**. If the headache, fever, aching limbs and pharyngeal pain are severe, Chinese medicine can be taken internally, or antibiotics or antiviral drugs can be used.
