I always want to cough, my throat is itchy and has phlegm

You always want to cough and have phlegm in your throat. Not only that, your throat is also itchy. These symptoms are generally caused by pharyngitis. Pharyngitis is a disease with a high incidence rate, and there is currently no way to completely cure pharyngitis. Symptoms can only be relieved through some medications, and patients are also required to take good care of themselves in their daily lives. Here is some information about pharyngitis!

1. Cause Analysis

Resistance decreased (30%):

This disease is often caused by a decrease in systemic and local resistance due to cold, excessive fatigue, excessive smoking and drinking, which allows pathogenic microorganisms to take advantage of the situation and invade the body. Over-fatigue refers to a sub-healthy state of exhaustion caused by long working hours, excessive labor intensity, and excessive psychological pressure. Its biggest hidden danger is that it causes the body's latent diseases to rapidly worsen, such as worsening underlying diseases such as hypertension, leading to acute circulatory organ disorders such as cerebrovascular disease or cardiovascular disease, and even fatal symptoms. This sudden death caused by long-term chronic fatigue is also called "death from overwork".

Malnutrition (20%):

Malnutrition in a broad sense should include both undernutrition or deficiency and overnutrition. Here we only discuss the former. Malnutrition is often secondary to medical and surgical causes, such as chronic diarrhea, short bowel syndrome, and malabsorptive disorders. Non-medical causes of malnutrition include poor eating habits, lack of nutritional knowledge, and parents' neglect of scientific feeding methods.

Chronic diseases (20%):

People with chronic heart, kidney, and joint diseases, poor living and working environment, and frequent exposure to high temperatures, dust, and harmful irritating gases are all susceptible to this disease. The main pathogenic microorganisms are hemolytic streptococci, pneumococci, influenza bacilli, and viruses.

3. Diet and health care

1. During the illness, you should drink more boiled water and eat light and easily digestible food, such as white rice porridge, noodles, lotus root powder, fresh vegetables, etc. Cabbage, loofah, winter melon, watermelon, pear, cucumber, mung bean, and tofu have the effect of clearing heat and can be eaten more.

2. Avoid eating greasy, sticky, and fried foods. Fish and meat should not be eaten or should be eaten in moderation.

3. It is generally not advisable to take tonic food during the acute stage of pharyngitis, so as to avoid the evil spirits lingering and damaging the healthy energy. If you are worried about your body being weak and intolerant, you can add a little eggs, milk, lean meat, etc. to strengthen your body's energy.
