My throat is itchy and I cough in the middle of the night

Everyone hopes that they can have super high-quality sleep, so that they will not feel dizzy after waking up, and will start the day's life and work with full energy. But in reality, many people have certain sleep problems. For example, many people will experience itchy throats and coughing in the middle of the night. So, what methods can be used to alleviate this symptom?

1. Tongue root exercise

When pharyngitis occurs, patients often experience symptoms such as sore throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, dry and itchy throat, etc. Tongue root exercises can exercise the pharyngeal muscles, and the saliva in the mouth can also moisturize the pharyngeal mucosa and relieve the symptoms of pharyngitis. The method is as follows: Relax your cheeks, close your mouth slightly, lightly touch the tip of your tongue to your teeth, and rotate clockwise. After eighteen weeks, change to counterclockwise, and another eighteen weeks as a cycle. At the same time, slowly swallow the saliva in your mouth. Do this twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

2. Contains raw garlic

It is recommended that patients with pharyngitis try holding raw garlic in their mouths. It is best to use purple garlic. If you persist in holding it in your mouth for several weeks, it can effectively relieve the symptoms of pharyngitis and reduce the frequency of pharyngitis attacks. People who don't usually eat garlic may not be able to adapt to the initial stage of holding garlic in their mouths. They may feel a burning sensation in their mouths and tears may flow. In this case, you can hold the garlic in your mouth and spit it out from time to time. Do not chew the garlic when holding it in your mouth to avoid biting through it. Excessive stimulation will cause strong discomfort. After gradually adapting, you can gently bite through the garlic skin. Raw garlic can not only improve the symptoms of pharyngitis, but also treat toothache, hoarseness and other problems.

3. Eat walnuts

Walnuts can reduce phlegm and inflammation, moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. Patients with pharyngitis can eat walnuts to relieve symptoms such as sore throat, pharyngeal mucosal edema and cough. Eating a few walnuts in the morning and evening can not only nourish the brain but also treat pharyngitis, which is killing two birds with one stone.

4. Finger pressure method

Pharyngitis is more common among middle-aged and elderly people. After the onset of the disease, the throat will be dry and itchy, and there will be paroxysmal irritating coughs, accompanied by symptoms of difficulty swallowing. When pharyngitis occurs, you can press the tip of your left ring finger to relieve pain and inflammation. The method is as follows: Use the thumb and index finger of your right hand to press the tip of the ring finger of your left hand, maintaining a certain strength and rhythm. Each time of pressing should not exceed fifteen minutes. Do it once a day before breakfast, noon and dinner, and you will see results in two to three days.

5. Take ginseng slices orally

When pharyngitis occurs, the throat will be dry and itchy. It is easy to cough from early morning to noon, and the peak time for paroxysmal coughing is before going to bed at night. It is recommended to hold a small piece of Scrophularia under your tongue before going to bed and spit it out after getting up the next day. Holding ginseng slices in the mouth can suppress pharyngitis coughs, improve sleep quality, and you won’t have as dry mouth as before when you wake up in the morning.

6. Honey tea

Wrap an appropriate amount of green tea in gauze, put it in a cup and brew it with boiling water. After the temperature drops slightly, add honey, mix well and you can drink it. Hold it in your mouth and swallow it bit by bit every half hour. This method can relieve itchy throat, cough, and sore throat.
