Pharyngitis is a relatively common disease. After suffering from pharyngitis, it often leads to coughing, difficulty in swallowing, retching and other symptoms. Especially chronic pharyngitis lasts for a long time, causing patients to suffer greater pain. After suffering from chronic pharyngitis, in addition to regular treatment, good conditioning is also very important. It is necessary to maintain adequate rest, improve immunity, strengthen diet conditioning, etc.

How to treat chronic pharyngitis

The main symptoms of chronic pharyngitis are a foreign body sensation in the throat, increased and sticky secretions, and excessive talking, weather changes, or excessive smoking, drinking, spicy and irritating foods can aggravate the condition, so self-conditioning is very important.

In many cases, the treatment of chronic pharyngitis still depends on yourself. Taking medical medicine alone is not enough. Daily self-conditioning is also essential, including diet and habits. Let's see if it will be more effective to treat chronic pharyngitis by starting with self-care.

Pharyngitis is afraid of dryness, nourishing yin and moistening dryness is important

Every night I have heavy breathing, dry throat, itchy and rough throat, and there is a foreign object in my throat that I can't cough out or swallow. Drinking a glass of honey water before going to bed every night can not only nourish the lungs, but also moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements, remove body heat and keep the body moisturized.

Pharyngitis is afraid of stimulation, so it is better to eat less raw, cold and spicy food, and drink less tobacco and alcohol.

Raw, cold and spicy foods can irritate the throat mucosa, cause inflammation, swell up the throat, make swallowing painful, aggravate the existing inflammation and hinder its disappearance.

On the one hand, tobacco and alcohol can irritate the throat mucosa and increase inflammation. On the other hand, tobacco and alcohol can cause dryness of the throat mucosa and increase the roughness and foreign body sensation in the throat. Therefore, nine out of ten people who smoke and drink heavily have pharyngitis. Therefore, patients with pharyngitis should quit smoking and drinking.

Dietary conditioning is very important, and the cumulative effect cannot be ignored

Eat more porridge every day. You can add almonds, codonopsis, lily, wolfberry, and lotus seeds to cook porridge together. It can clear toxins from the respiratory system and keep the internal environment of the respiratory system clean.

Pharyngitis should not be excessive, speak less, speak slowly

More than 90% of teachers suffer from pharyngitis. Why? Talking too much causes over-strain on the throat. Therefore, people with chronic pharyngitis should talk less, speak slowly, avoid speaking continuously for a long time, and their speech speed should not be too fast.

Remind patients with pharyngitis to try to maintain a regular schedule and avoid staying up late. In addition to honey water, you can also soak some throat-soothing Chinese medicinal herbs and drink them as water, such as monk fruit, Ophiopogon japonicus, honeysuckle, etc.

As I said, you should drink more honey water in normal times. If you think honey water is too picky, you can change it to honeysuckle tea. Any of these teas can be drunk by patients, which will be of great help in treating your chronic pharyngitis.
