What disease is dry throat a precursor to

What disease is dry throat a precursor to? This cannot be judged by the single symptom of dry throat, because we all know that many problems may cause throat infection and pain, such as common dehydration and thirst or colds, which are prone to dry, itchy and painful throats. So after understanding the causes, we must pay attention to scientific treatment methods and drink more water.

1. Causes

1. Lack of water

There is no lack of water, but I am thirsty and my throat is dry, as if I had slept on a warm kang all night or eaten a lot of cooked melon seeds. If you feel that your stomach is full of water, this should mean that there is enough water in your body.

2. Cold

It's not a cold. I have had this symptom for almost a year. I am afraid of cold, my hands and feet are cold, I rarely sweat in summer, and a lot of sweat comes out from my armpits. In the past six months, large butterfly spots have appeared on my face.

2. Chinese medicine for treating dry throat

1. Plantago ovata: clears heat and moistens the lungs, relieves sore throat and detoxifies, moistens the intestines and promotes bowel movements. It is used for hoarseness due to lung heat, dry cough without sputum, dry and sore throat, constipation due to heat accumulation, headache and red eyes.

2. Green fruit: It tastes sour and astringent, and has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and clearing the throat. Chewing fresh olives can moisten the throat, and the heat-clearing effect of preserved olives pickled with salt will be even stronger.

3. Platycodon grandiflorum: Treating sore throat

4. Buddha's hand: It has the function of regulating qi and resolving phlegm, and is more suitable for people with excessive phlegm.

5. Tangerine peel: Like bergamot, it also has the effects of regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm.

3. Preventive measures for dry throat

1. Drink light salt water to prevent constipation

You should drink more light salt water to clean and moisten the throat, and effectively avoid symptoms such as dry and itchy throat and cough; eat easily digestible food to prevent food from accumulating in the gastrointestinal tract and causing constipation.

2. Keep warm

If your body catches a cold, the symptoms of dry throat, itchy throat and cough will become more severe. Most patients with pharyngitis will experience dry, itchy throats and even violent coughing when exposed to cold air or staying in air-conditioned rooms for a long time.

3. Pay attention to oral hygiene and diet

As the saying goes, disease comes from the mouth. The incidence of many diseases is closely related to oral hygiene. Of course, the dry and itchy throat caused by pharyngitis is directly related to oral hygiene. You should develop a good habit of rinsing your mouth after meals to prevent germs from growing.
