To say that the throat has received a lot of "baptism" this year, the first and second flu just mixed infection came a wave, this has not eased the momentum, and the laryngitis has come again, ......But all the social animals that still exist in social ** should have seen words similar to "blade throat" and "swallow blade" more or less recently, this uncomfortable experience can't help but make people wonder, is it a new virus? Still specialize in the throat?
Recently, the official media interviewed professionals in relevant fields and gave answers.
Sore throat is commonly found in acute inflammation of the throat, such as acute tonsillitis, acute pharyngitis, acute laryngitis, etc., which can cause sore throat. This pain is mostly caused by bacterial infection or viral infection, and can also be caused by bacterial and viral mixed infection, which is clinically manifested as sore throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, accompanied by painful swallowing, etc., and sometimes accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and fatigue.
It is also pointed out that some acute pharyngitis is caused by viral infection, and different influenza viruses such as influenza A and influenza B may cause the same symptoms. It may also be common viruses, adenoviruses, etc., and ordinary viruses are sometimes not detectable by testing. Therefore, there will be people with sore throats, and they will go to the hospital to find out that they are not the current epidemic viruses such as influenza A, influenza B and mycoplasma pneumonia.
Rather than figuring out what virus is causing it, relieving symptoms is more urgent. Here, we offer you 4 tips to relieve laryngitis.
1.Rinse your mouth with salt waterRinsing the mucous membranes of the throat with salt water can help relieve inflammation. Add a cap of beer salt to 250 ml of warm boiled water to dissolve it thoroughly, then hold the salt water in the mouth and the base of the tongue for 20 to 30 seconds, then spit out the salt water, and finally rinse the mouth with water. (Some netizens said that mouthwashes containing mint are also useful, so you can try them.) ）
2.Steam moistens the throatMoisturize the throat with the help of water vapor. Boil a cup of boiling water, aim the mouth of the cup at the throat for fumigation, or buy a special vapor meter. However, it should be noted that the water temperature should be controlled below 60. It is recommended to do about 20 minutes twice a day.
3.Make sure you drink waterIncrease your water intake appropriately, and you can drink some hot and moisturizing tea to relieve pain and inflammation.
4.Take pharyngeal tabletsHold a throat slice at the base of your tongue near your throat. However, most throat lozenges contain iodine, and although it can inhibit bacteria, excessive iodine may irritate the oral mucosa, so it is recommended to take it under the guidance of a doctor.
Illness can always be mild or severe, and even infections caused by the same virus can be different from person to person.
When the throat is swollen and sore, it is difficult to swallow when eating, or the speech is like holding something in the mouth. or the systemic symptoms are more obvious, such as fever, headache, and aching limbs that gradually worsen; or there is no significant relief within one to two weeks, and the symptoms tend to worsen; The cough and phlegm are very severe, and if the symptoms are not significantly relieved after taking the medicine, you must go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
