Pharyngitis medication is ineffective

Pharyngitis is a very common disease, but if the condition does not improve after taking medicine for a long time, it is very likely a symptom caused by allergic pharyngitis. Allergic pharyngitis not only requires patients to use medication in a timely and correct manner, but also requires good care in daily life. Below, I will introduce to you in detail the daily care methods for allergic pharyngitis!

1. Drink plenty of water

The main cause of allergic pharyngitis is diffuse inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa, submucosal and lymphoid tissue, which is generally caused by virus or bacteria invading the throat.

Drinking plenty of water is a golden rule that you should never forget. In addition, fumigating the throat with salt water is also a good way to relieve the condition. You can use a large bowl or soup basin, put some boiled salt water in it, open your mouth wide and inhale and exhale into the steam, for about 10-15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.

2. Avoid overusing your voice

Pay attention to rest, reduce work, and exercise appropriately. People with systemic diseases should be treated actively. If there are diseases in the nasopharynx or oral cavity, timely treatment is required.

3. Pay attention to your diet

Drink cool throat-soothing beverages and eat fruits frequently, such as sugarcane, reed root juice, pears, water chestnuts, pomegranates, etc. Rinse your mouth with light salt water every morning. You can also eat radishes raw or cook them into dishes.

4. Keep moisturized

Keep the air in the room moist and clean, do not smoke indoors, and do not place items with irritating odors indoors. When using heating in winter, you should be careful not to make the room too dry. You can use a humidifier or put a wet towel on the heater before going to bed to keep the air moist.

5. Quit smoking and drinking

Tobacco and alcohol can irritate the throat and damage the body's functions, so they should be quit resolutely. Eat less fried, stir-fried and irritating foods.

The green fruit is often held in the mouth and chewed slowly, and the juice is swallowed slowly; the pear is sliced ​​with the skin, and 3 green fruits are decocted and taken, which has a certain effect on pharyngitis.
