Recently, sore throat has become the mainstream symptom of this cold, many colleagues in our department are so painful that they can't speak. Is it true that this is a cold symptom that was not there before, and some people jokingly called "a new virus that attacks the throat" is coming? With the Spring Festival approaching, how to prevent respiratory infections?
In fact, this symptom is a typical manifestation of laryngitis, after bacterial or viral infection, swelling and pain in the throat appears, accompanied by a foreign body sensation in the throat, and in severe cases, systemic symptoms, including fever.
The bacteria or viruses that cause this symptom are not necessarily new viruses, and common influenza A, B, adenovirus, common cold virus, new crown, etc. may have similar symptoms, even if the test result is negative, it does not mean that a new virus has appeared.
What should I do when this happens?
The first is symptomatic**, you can use warm salt water to rinse, about ten minutes each time, using the bactericidal effect of concentrated salt water at a certain temperature, which can play a role in local sterilization and anti-inflammatory. Symptomatic treatment can be done by drinking plenty of water or containing throat tablets.
