Autumn is dry, please protect your throat.

Dry autumn has come, accompanied by laryngitis which is easy to recur again and again. If you feel sore throat and dry pain, you should be on your guard. As the saying goes, "Autumn supplements winter storage". Autumn is not only the high incidence season of laryngitis, but also the best season to maintain the throat. How to recuperate laryngitis?

Why is it easy to get a sore throat in autumn?

The incidence of throat diseases in the population can reach almost half. Influenced by internal and external environmental factors, especially in autumn, the incidence of pharyngitis is at its peak. On the one hand, the air is dry in autumn, and the dust and smoke in the environment increase, which is easy to cause irritation to the throat; In addition, the weather is cold and hot, and the temperature difference between morning and evening increases. Dry and cold stimulate the throat, which is easy to attack the pharyngeal mucosa by external bacteria and viruses and induce inflammation. From the internal environment of human body, autumn dryness will lead to the loss of body fluid, malnutrition and inflammation of throat.

Especially for teachers, broadcasters and other professional people who often use the throat, under the long-term impact of strong airflow, the mucous membranes of the throat and pharynx cause local congestion and edema, and at the same time affect the secretion of glands in the throat. Under the stimulation of specific environment in autumn, it is easy to have symptoms such as dry throat, discomfort and hoarseness.

Autumn is also the season of high incidence of rhinitis. Rhinitis attacks lead to nasal congestion, and it is often necessary to breathe with your mouth open. Cold air is not filtered through the nasal cavity, which directly stimulates the throat and can also cause pharyngitis.

At this time, if the influence of bad living habits such as staying up late, excessive alcohol and tobacco, spicy diet and so on is superimposed, as soon as the body's immunity drops, various discomforts such as dry throat and sore throat will come to you.

Prevention of pharyngitis depends on moderation.

Although throat discomfort is very common, it will also bring great harm if it is not taken seriously. For example, acute pharyngolaryngitis, if not treated properly, can turn into chronic if it recurs; Abnormal phonation caused by pharyngitis affects image and employment; Serious can affect breathing, swallowing, life-threatening; If the infection of the throat spreads upward, affecting the ears and nose, it can lead to acute rhinitis, sinusitis and otitis media; Downward development can invade the lower respiratory tract such as trachea and lung, causing bronchitis and pneumonia. ...

In order to treat pharyngitis in time, it is necessary to avoid the stimulation of dust and harmful gases from the etiology; Correct incorrect vocal methods and avoid excessive use of sound. At the same time, we should actively prevent and treat chronic inflammation of nose and mouth, remove lesions, strengthen physical exercise and enhance disease resistance.

Self-discipline and moderation in life are very important. The first basic requirement is to quit smoking and drinking and stay away from second-hand smoke; Secondly, try to avoid drinking coffee, wine, strong tea and carbonated drinks; In addition, we should maintain good living habits, avoid excessive fatigue and maintain a good mood. Try to keep the air fresh and circulating in the working and living environment, and improve the indoor low temperature and dryness; In the environment with dust and irritating gas, it is recommended to wear a mask.

People who often use their throats should pay attention to protecting their throats, use their throats rationally, avoid shouting and singing loudly, use their throats excessively for a long time, and let their throats rest if they have slight symptoms of vocal fatigue; Teachers should avoid continuous classes and suggest that large classes use microphones to reduce the burden of pronunciation.

Professionals who have been vocalizing frequently for a long time are advised to receive professional pronunciation rehabilitation training if they are troubled by improper pronunciation. Otolaryngologists can also provide effective help in this regard.

Seven causes of pharyngitis

The throat will adjust with the change of seasons, and some people's uncomfortable throat is also a reaction to this change.

In autumn, the dust concentration in the air will gradually increase. Dust can enter the throat with breathing, which will stimulate and induce pharyngitis. As physical and chemical irritants, polluted particles in the air will directly stimulate the throat mucosa.

The air circulation in many offices is poor, and the cold wind from the air conditioner is also a great test for the throat. Because it is inconvenient to change clothes in public places, and the temperature of central air conditioning is too low, it is easy to aggravate pharyngitis.

In autumn, due to the large temperature difference between day and night, many people don't pay much attention to the temperature of food in their diet. The hot and cold stimulation of this food will hurt the throat.

For people with allergic constitution, autumn itself is the season of high incidence of allergic symptoms, especially around beginning of autumn, people with allergic rhinitis and pharyngitis will obviously feel uncomfortable.

Autumn is getting colder and colder, which is the season with frequent colds. Some people begin to have symptoms of nasal congestion. Coupled with allergic rhinitis and other factors, many people began to open their mouths to breathe. Dry air and substances in the air will directly stimulate the throat mucosa, which in itself will induce pharyngitis.

Personal factors can also induce pharyngitis. Some people have diseases of esophagus and stomach and often have acid reflux. Reflux acid substances repeatedly stimulate the throat mucosa, which will induce pharyngitis.

Methods of preventing pharyngolaryngitis

Stick to brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and after meals, correct the bad habit of breathing with your mouth open, and avoid oral pollution caused by dust in the air. Rinse your mouth with light salt water in the morning and evening, and then drink a glass of light salt water to prevent infection.

You can put a humidifier in the office or at home to keep the room moist and dry. Open the window for ventilation every day to keep the air fresh.

Pay attention to rest, reduce overwork and exercise properly. Patients with systemic diseases should be actively treated, and if there are diseases in the nasopharynx and oral cavity, they should be treated in time.

It is advisable to eat fruits such as sugar cane, pear and pomegranate, rinse your mouth with salt water every morning, and eat radishes raw or cooked with radishes.

Flos Lonicerae, Flos Chrysanthemi Indici, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Radix Scrophulariae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Boat-fruited Sterculia, etc. Use boiling water in a thermos cup instead of tea, and drink it from time to time every day. Olive fruit is often contained in the mouth. Slicing pear skin and adding three slices of olive soup have certain curative effect on pharyngitis.

Alcohol and tobacco not only irritate the throat, but also damage the body function. We must resolutely give up smoking and eat less fried and irritating food.
