What to do if you have a sore throat and hoarseness

As life and work become more intense, we inevitably have to deal with people every day. Long-term communication can easily cause sore throat, which can even affect speaking, swallowing and eating. This may be caused by vocal cord fatigue due to talking too much. If it is not recovered in time, the voice will become hoarse. In order to better protect the health of the throat, do not talk frequently and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

It is recommended to drink more water, eat more vegetables, do not stay up late, eat more fruits, take anti-inflammatory drugs, such as amoxicillin, azithromycin, and antiviral drugs, such as amantadine, ribavirin, and take some Chinese patent medicines for clearing heat and detoxification, such as Yinhuang granules. It is best to dissolve some lozenges for throat relief at the same time, such as Jinshengzi lozenges, Xiguashuang lozenges, etc.

How to treat a sore throat

Treat the symptoms :

The treatment of sore throat requires the right medicine for the right disease. First, we can look in the mirror to see if our uvula has fallen off (check if the tonsils are swollen) and at the same time see if we have symptoms of a cold such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, etc., to determine the cause of the sore throat.

What to do if your throat hurts

See your doctor promptly :

After determining the cause of the disease, it will be convenient to see a doctor. Of course, if the cause is not sure, as long as you tell the doctor your condition truthfully, the doctor will be able to see it. Generally, the doctor will ask you to take anti-inflammatory drugs, or hang saline solution for treatment. If necessary, there may be oral lozenges, etc.

Drink more boiled water :

Drinking more boiled water can help relieve throat pain. Although swallowing will make the throat feel uncomfortable, speeding up metabolism can help eliminate toxins as soon as possible. You can also take some lozenges orally to relieve throat pain.

Pay attention to your diet :

When you have a sore throat, you must eat less cold food and avoid spicy food that is irritating to your throat, otherwise it will make your throat pain worse.
