Things not to eat when having pharyngitis

Patients with pharyngitis often feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and discomfort in the throat. They need to pay attention to their diet, because if they do not pay attention to their diet, the symptoms of pharyngitis may worsen. Once aggravated, it will make pharyngitis patients more painful. Therefore, people with pharyngitis must pay attention to their eating habits in daily life and avoid some things that should not or cannot be eaten to control the disease.

1. Avoid chewing gum, chocolate, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, hot food, spicy barbecue, fried food, etc. These are things that can easily cause or aggravate chronic pharyngitis.

2. Avoid eating irritating condiments such as chili, vinegar, ginger, onion, star anise, etc. These foods not only induce pain, but also irritate the ulcer surface and cause it to further expand.

3. Avoid eating rough and hard foods such as fried spareribs, fried chicken legs, nuts, etc. Because these hard foods can easily cause friction on the ulcer surface and aggravate the condition.

4. Avoid eating ground food, such as bread crumbs, corn or potato chips, because ground food is easy to adhere to the ulcer surface and affect the healing of the ulcer surface.

5. Avoid eating too hot food. Boiling water or boiling soup cannot kill the bacteria on the ulcer surface, but will cause irritation. Therefore, it is best to wait until the food cools to room temperature before eating.

This is all I have to say about foods that cannot be eaten for chronic pharyngitis. I hope everyone will pay attention to diet control, avoid eating foods that cannot be eaten, and eat more foods that are beneficial to chronic pharyngitis. In addition, I hope everyone will drink more boiled water in life, get rid of the troubles of chronic pharyngitis, and recover soon.

Do not eat irritating foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, etc. These foods are very irritating to the throat and will aggravate the symptoms of throat discomfort. Try to eat a lighter diet on a daily basis. Do not eat sour or sweet foods. Eating acidic foods will make it difficult to cough up phlegm and aggravate inflammation. Overly sweet foods will also irritate the throat mucosa, making it difficult to heal the inflammation. You cannot eat oranges. Many people believe that oranges can relieve coughs and reduce phlegm. In fact, only the orange peel has the effect of relieving coughs and reducing phlegm. The orange flesh will only generate heat and phlegm, which will aggravate the condition. You can drink orange peel soaked in water. Do not drink alcohol or smoke. Smoking is extremely harmful to the throat. Therefore, people with pharyngitis must quit smoking and drink less. Do not eat greasy or fried food. Fried greasy food can easily irritate the mucous membrane of the throat, produce phlegm, and aggravate inflammation. You cannot eat too cold food. Too cold food will only make you feel comfortable temporarily. Eating too cold food frequently is not only bad for your throat, but also for your stomach. Do not overeat. Overeating can cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, affect digestion and absorption, cause physical weakness, make you prone to colds, and aggravate pharyngitis. Chew slowly when eating to reduce the burden on the throat. Note: Eat a light diet. Try not to catch a cold.
