Can I use air conditioning if I have pharyngitis

We all know that the weather in summer is very hot, so most people will use air conditioning indoors in summer. However, frequent use of air conditioning can also be harmful to the body, especially for the elderly. After using air conditioning, they are prone to air conditioning diseases. For patients with pharyngitis, they may have other breathing difficulties. So can patients with pharyngitis use air conditioning?

With the development of technology and the popularization of air conditioning, almost all offices are equipped with air conditioning, which brings convenience to people's work and life. Although the drop in temperature in winter will not affect white-collar workers in air-conditioned rooms, staying in air-conditioned rooms for a long time can easily cause pharyngitis, so white-collar workers should pay more attention. So, why is it that air-conditioned rooms are prone to cause pharyngitis?

Why air-conditioned rooms are prone to pharyngitis

The reason why air-conditioned rooms are prone to pharyngitis is, on the one hand, because the air circulation in the air-conditioned room is not smooth. After a long time, the air will become turbid. If such air is inhaled, it will easily irritate the throat mucosa, thus leading to pharyngitis. On the other hand, the temperature in the air-conditioned room is high and the air is relatively dry. If you stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time, your pharyngitis will become dry and it will also cause pharyngitis.

How can white-collar workers prevent pharyngitis?

White-collar workers should not stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time. They should go out frequently to get some fresh air to avoid congestion and edema of the throat mucosa due to long-term irritation. In addition, you should drink more water to replenish your body's water needs in time.

Laryngitis is very harmful to the human body. If you have symptoms of laryngitis, you should treat it as soon as possible and choose a professional and regular otolaryngology hospital to treat it. Through the above introduction, everyone should have some understanding of whether air conditioning can also cause pharyngitis. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.

Pharyngitis caused by staying in an air-conditioned room

Pharyngitis is a disease caused by bacteria and can be divided into acute pharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis. Among them, acute pharyngitis is mainly caused by viruses and bacteria. Chronic pharyngitis is caused by improper treatment of acute pharyngitis, repeated attacks, which turn into a chronic disease, or by various types of rhinitis that irritate the throat. Its clinical manifestations include redness, swelling, dryness, pain in the throat, cough and other symptoms. Some people may experience hoarseness and inability to speak.

The widespread use of air conditioning has made summer a peak season for pharyngitis, and the majority of the patients are white-collar workers. When turning on the air conditioner, it is inevitable to close the windows to prevent the cold air from leaking out. But this also hinders the circulation of indoor air, which in turn leads to an increase in the smoke and dust content in the air, and viruses and bacteria take the opportunity to multiply and grow in large numbers. In addition, although the air conditioner also has a ventilation function, the effect is still much worse than opening windows for ventilation. In addition, the inside of the air conditioner is not cleaned in time, and bacteria breeding is very common.

Various pathogenic bacteria live harmoniously in the human oral cavity. Because the bacterial colony is balanced, it is generally not easy to get sick. However, when the internal environment of the human body changes and the body's resistance weakens, pathogenic bacteria will take advantage of the situation and multiply rapidly, eventually leading to an attack of pharyngitis.
