What to do if my throat is swollen due to allergies

A swollen throat due to allergies may be relatively rare, mainly because allergies have little to do with the throat, but the body's immune system is closely related. It is easy to cause a swollen throat due to allergies. It is recommended that you adopt treatment methods that pay attention to allergies. For throat swelling caused by allergies, we can drink water to relieve the symptoms, or we can eat some watermelon frost or Jinthroat to clear the throat.

There are many reasons for allergies. To put it simply, it is mainly because the human immune system cannot distinguish whether the substances it comes into contact with are harmful or harmless to the human body, so it will kill some harmless foods or other substances as pathogens, thereby causing metabolic disorders in the human body. Since we usually don’t know what we are allergic to, and the sanitary conditions of our living environment have improved, people have fewer opportunities to come into contact with germs. Therefore, the immune system sometimes has no viruses to kill, and sometimes it will kill normal substances as viruses to make its presence felt. Therefore, it is very difficult to prevent allergies. We can only pay more attention to what we can do in our daily lives, and try to avoid the things that cause allergies.

As for the sore throat caused by allergies, in simple terms, it is the immune system of the throat that treats some things that enter the throat as viruses, which causes abnormal metabolism and leads to throat edema. Mild symptoms may only cause dry throat, severe symptoms may cause pain in swallowing, and even more severe symptoms may cause difficulty breathing. The treatment plan varies depending on the severity of the symptoms. For mild cases, try to relieve the symptoms through diet and allow your immune system to restore normal function. If the symptoms are serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.

Generally speaking, if it is not too serious, drink more water to relieve it and it will get better on its own after a while. If drinking water cannot relieve the pain, you can take some throat lozenges, such as Xigua Shuang throat lozenges or Jinshengzi. These things can keep your throat cool and won’t feel too sore. They also have anti-inflammatory effects. If the sore throat is not too serious, taking some throat lozenges will basically improve it significantly. In addition, drinking vinegar mixed with water can also provide some relief. If the condition is very serious and the sore throat has affected your breathing and you feel difficulty breathing, go to the hospital immediately for professional treatment and anti-allergic treatment, such as the use of anti-allergic drugs such as cetirizine hydrochloride, loratadine, etc. After the condition is alleviated, it is recommended to check the allergens and try to avoid contact with these allergens in future life.

If your throat is swollen and sore due to allergies, you don’t need to panic too much. Keep a good mood, don’t drink cold water, don’t eat half-cooked fruits, try to eat more light liquid foods, such as porridge, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Maintain a healthy diet and take care of your body slowly.
