Teachers should protect their throats from laryngeal cancer

Laryngeal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the laryngeal mucosa and seriously endangers the patient's life. Teachers' excessive use of their voices causes great damage to the throat, which can easily induce laryngeal cancer. The following are some ways for teachers to protect their throats.

1. Drink plenty of water

Teachers have to teach students most of the day, and their throats cannot get a good rest, but they must drink enough water, about 2000ml of water a day, to ensure that the surface of the vocal cords is normally moist and not dry.

2. Strengthen your body

Teachers should exercise regularly in their spare time to enhance their disease resistance and prevent respiratory diseases. A strong body is the best weapon to prevent all diseases. They can jog, walk, play ball, do gymnastics, etc.

3. Pay attention to your diet

Since teachers often overuse their voices, it is best to avoid smoking and drinking, spicy or overly sour foods, and eating hot or cold foods immediately after using their voices. They should drink more warm water and avoid stimulating drinks such as alcohol and coffee. They can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits or herbal teas that are good for the throat.

4. Clear your throat less

Clearing the throat may be just a habit of some people. Teachers should avoid this action if they want to protect their throats, because when clearing the throat, the airflow will violently vibrate the vocal cords, thus damaging them. If you always feel uncomfortable in your throat and want to cough, you can take a sip of water or swallow. If the discomfort cannot be relieved for a long time, you should go to the hospital for examination to get a final diagnosis and timely treatment.
