Among the many organs in the human body, the lungs and throat belong to different systems, but they are closely related. The lungs are the center of the respiratory system and are responsible for the exchange of gases; The throat is the common passage between the airway and food, and its front part is the mouth, and the back part is connected to the trachea and bronchi. When there is a problem with the lungs, the throat often becomes a "prophet", warning us through some specific symptoms.
1. Sore throat – a sign of inflammation.
Inflammation of the lungs can occur when they are attacked by viruses, bacteria, or other factors. This inflammation may affect the throat through the lymphatic system, causing a sore throat. This pain may manifest as a slight stabbing pain or as a severe pain, especially when swallowing. At this time, you should be alert to whether there are allergies, colds, tonsillitis and other respiratory tract infectious diseases, and seek medical attention in time.
2. Dry throat – a warning of air pollution.
The lungs have extremely high demands on the quality of the air. When the air quality drops, such as PM25. When the concentration of harmful substances such as formaldehyde exceeds the standard, the lungs will try to excrete harmful substances from the body in the form of increased secretions to protect their own functions. This self-protection mechanism can lead to a dry throat and may be accompanied by symptoms such as cough and chest tightness. Long-term exposure to air pollution can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and other diseases. Therefore, when symptoms such as dry throat appear, the living environment should be checked, indoor ventilation should be improved, and exposure to harmful substances should be reduced.
3. Itchy throat – a sign of allergies.
Allergies are the body's immune response to certain substances such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, etc. When an allergen enters the body, the body produces antibodies to fight the allergen. During this process, the throat may be itchy. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by allergic reactions such as dyspnea and asthma. For people with allergies, avoid exposure to known allergens and desensitize them if necessary**.
In short, when you have an upset throat, don't simply think it's a minor problem, but focus on whether there is a problem with your lungs. Maintaining good lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking, reducing exposure to secondhand smoke, and keeping indoor air fresh, can all help protect the health of your lungs and throat. At the same time, regular medical check-ups, especially of the respiratory system, are also important means of disease prevention.
In the fast-paced world of modern life, we often ignore the subtle changes in our bodies and mistake these symptoms for small troubles in our lives. However, it is these overlooked symptoms that may be suggesting something deep in the body. Therefore, we should learn to listen to the body's signals, detect the problem in time, and take corresponding measures. Only in this way can we truly protect our health.
