So what's the matter with dry retching, coughing, and blood in sputum but no wheezing? Let me introduce it to you below.

This situation is mostly caused by chronic pharyngitis.

Chronic pharyngitis care methods

1. It is most important to treat pharyngitis with the right medicine. Currently, the pharyngitis medicines on the market are mainly Chinese patent medicines, which cannot cure chronic pharyngitis.

2. Open windows frequently to ventilate and keep the air flowing. Dry indoor air and excessive cold, heat and humidity can affect the defensive function of the pharyngeal mucosa, causing functional disorders and abnormal sensation in the pharynx, which can eventually lead to chronic pharyngitis. Rinsing your mouth and brushing your teeth in the morning, after meals and before going to bed can keep your mouth clean.

3. Sit in meditation for treatment. Place your hands lightly on your thighs, close your eyes slightly, put your tongue against the upper palate, calm your mind, breathe naturally, focus your mind on the throat, accumulate saliva in your mouth, and swallow it slowly when your mouth is full. Do this for 15 to 20 minutes. Then slowly open your eyes, gently rub your throat with the thumb and the other four fingers of one hand, breathe naturally, focus your mind on your hands, and swallow it slowly when your mouth is full of saliva. Repeat this for 5 to 7 minutes. Practice 2 to 3 times a day, 15 to 30 minutes each time.

4. Once discovered, seek medical attention as soon as possible, do not delay.

5. Adjust your diet and eat light and easily digestible food, supplemented with some refreshing, heat-removing, tender and juicy foods. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, tobacco and alcohol, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water.
