Laryngitis, which is a problem that we often encounter during the winter months. Have you ever experienced symptoms such as a sore throat or sore throat? These can be caused by infections caused by bacteria or viruses. Pharyngitis usually presents with discomfort such as sore throat and difficulty swallowing, and may also be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and fatigue. Sometimes, however, even a common viral test cannot be accurately diagnosed** because different influenza viruses such as influenza A and influenza B can also cause laryngitis. Of course, for mild laryngitis symptoms, we can try to alleviate them with some spicy and cool medicines. In addition, drinking plenty of water and eating a light diet are also good ways to help relieve symptoms. However, if the symptoms are severe, such as severe sore throat, difficulty eating, obvious systemic symptoms, etc., it is necessary to go to the hospital for further examination and ** in time. There is also a situation where if you have symptoms such as cough and sputum production, it is likely to involve a problem with the lower respiratory tract. At this time, it is also necessary to go to the hospital for an examination to determine**and carry out the corresponding **.
Laryngitis is usually more common in the winter months because cold weather makes us more susceptible to viruses and bacteria. Moreover, the low humidity of the air in winter can easily lead to dryness of the throat mucosa, making us more likely to feel throat discomfort. So, in addition to the conventional methods, what other ways can we prevent laryngitis? First of all, it is very important to practice good personal hygiene. Washing your hands frequently and avoiding exposure to viruses and bacteria can effectively reduce the risk of infection. In addition, pay attention to keeping the indoor air humidity appropriate, which can be increased by using a humidifier or placing a water basin. At the same time, maintaining a good diet and getting enough sleep are also key to improving immunity. Of course, if you've already contracted laryngitis, in addition to seeking medical attention**, there are some self-care methods to relieve symptoms. For example, drink plenty of warm water, rinse your mouth with salt water, and avoid the irritation of tobacco and alcohol. In addition, it is also very important to take proper rest, not to overuse the vocal cords, and to avoid excessive talking and shouting.
In conclusion, laryngitis is a common respiratory disease in winter, but we can reduce the progression of the disease through reasonable prevention and timely **. By maintaining good personal hygiene, paying attention to indoor air humidity, and maintaining good eating and sleeping habits, we can effectively prevent the occurrence of laryngitis. At the same time, if you have severe symptoms, you must seek medical attention in time so as not to delay the condition. I hope you all have a healthy winter! Is it difficult to distinguish pathogens? Experts list the symptomatic characteristics of different pathogens. 1.Influenza A and B: Fever, muscle aches and headaches, and some mild respiratory symptoms, such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, etc. 2.Common cold: runny nose, sneezing, pharyngeal discomfort, nasal congestion, cough, sore throat, hoarseness, little or slightly increased body temperature. 3.Mycoplasma pneumoniae: severe irritating dry cough, low-grade fever, accompanied by headache, runny nose, sore throat, earache, etc. 4.Respiratory syncytial virus: mild symptoms and early symptoms of infection are similar to the common cold, with symptoms such as nasal congestion, cough, sneezing, runny nose, and low-grade fever.
In severe cases, there will be dyspnea or shortness of breath, wheezing, irritability, loss of appetite, etc. 5.Adenovirus: cough, nasal congestion, and pharyngitis, accompanied by fever, chills, headache, and muscle aches. Clinically, there may also be pharyngitis, pharyngeal conjunctival fever, pneumonia and other manifestations. These misunderstandings should be paid attention to:- Blindly taking medicines, infusions, etc., the gains outweigh the losses. - Autumn and winter periods of high incidence of respiratory infections. - Take ** medications to prevent respiratory infections. Many patients mistakenly believe that oral antibiotics can prevent respiratory infections, which is a misconception. In the absence of infection or a clear etiology, the blind use of oral antibiotics not only fails to prevent infection, but can also lead to drug resistance. For isolated upper respiratory tract infections, infusions are not required. Infusions do not shorten the duration of the disease. Only some severe infections or pneumonia and other conditions need to seek medical attention in time, and the doctor will determine whether an infusion is needed. Some people self-test by purchasing kits, but this is not entirely certain.
Testing is only a clinical adjunct, and even if a virus is positive, it does not rule out the possibility of other infections. The final ** should be judged by comprehensive consideration of epidemiology, symptoms, signs, tests, etc. Therefore, we should avoid the above misunderstandings and treat the methods of infection prevention and infection correctly.
