My throat feels uncomfortable after eating betel nut

I believe many people have eaten betel nut in their daily lives, mainly because it is very helpful in refreshing the brain. Many driver friends will chew betel nut to relieve the symptoms of eye fatigue at highway speeds. Some people will experience throat discomfort after eating betel nut, which is mainly caused by irritation of the throat mucosa. They should immediately avoid eating betel nut.

Betel nut contains a large amount of arecaline, and a small amount of lime is added during the production process. These substances will enter the throat when chewing, thereby irritating the throat mucosa, so this will cause the patient to experience symptoms of tight throat. This situation is a very common phenomenon, especially for those who are just starting to chew betel nut, the symptoms will be more obvious, but don’t worry too much, as long as you stop chewing betel nut, this situation will disappear automatically, so we don’t need special treatment, we just need to pay attention to care in life.

Since eating betel nut can cause great harm to oral health, we should try to eat less of it in our lives, otherwise it will cause great damage to the oral mucosa and may even lead to recurring oral ulcers. We must protect our oral cavity at ordinary times, not eat too hard food, and take good care of personal hygiene, keep the oral cavity clean to avoid the growth of bacteria as much as possible, otherwise it will easily lead to secondary infection, which will have a serious impact on physical health. We also need to improve our diet structure. We should not eat overly irritating foods. We should mainly eat a light diet and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, which is very helpful for the repair of oral mucosa.

It is a very common phenomenon to experience throat tightness after eating betel nut. It is mainly caused by the arecaline in betel nut irritating the throat mucosa. Although it will make the patient feel uncomfortable, as long as we stop chewing betel nut, the symptoms will relieve themselves, so we don’t need to worry too much. However, since chewing betel nut is very harmful to the body, we should try to eat less in our lives to avoid accidents.
