What to do if you have a severe sore throat

Sore throat is a common problem, usually caused by a cold or inflammation. Although a sore throat is not a serious illness, it can cause lymphadenitis and lead to fever. Therefore, sore throat still needs timely treatment. It can be adjusted through diet. You can drink more water or drink sea water every day. You can also eat some cold white fungus and celery to reduce heat. After dietary adjustment, the throat will gradually get better.

Wash and soak the white fungus, tear it into strips and pieces, blanch it with boiling water, rinse it with cold water, then add vinegar and eat it twice a day, with no limit on the amount. You will see improvement after 2 days.

2. Mix and eat with celery.

Wash and cut the celery, blanch it, add vinegar and eat it, a small plate at a time, twice a day.

3. Drink strong herbal tea.

Use boiling water to make a large cup of strong tea with 25 grams of tea leaves, and drink it regularly after it cools down.

4. Wind oil essence attracts people.

Pour a few drops of medicated oil on a clean handkerchief, place it on the nostrils and inhale, 4 to 6 times a day.

5. Apply cold compress to your neck.

Soak a towel with cold or ice water and apply it to the front neck and throat for about 20 minutes, 3-4 times a day.

6. Egg tea (for sore throat and hoarseness)

Take a fresh egg, crack it into a rice bowl to make egg liquid, boil some boiling water, pour it into the egg liquid to make egg drops, add a little sugar and sesame oil, drink it while it is hot. This is the legendary egg tea.

Remedies for sore throat caused by heat:

1. Black tea and egg white drink

Separate the egg whites of 2 fresh eggs, stir repeatedly with bamboo chopsticks (or a whisk is better) until snow-like foam like "white snow" is produced, and set aside. Then take an appropriate amount of black tea and rock sugar, put them into a teacup, and pour boiling water over them. After the tea is brewed, pour it into the bowl of the egg white liquid that has been stirred before, and the "white snow" will float on the water. Drink this "snow water" while it is hot, the effect is remarkable.

2. Duck Egg and Mint Soup

Take 1 to 2 duck eggs, 30 grams of fresh mint, and appropriate amounts of salt and MSG. Wash the fresh mint, then add appropriate amount of water into the pot, boil it, then beat the duck eggs into the boiling water, cook until half cooked, then put the mint in and cook together, then add appropriate amount of salt and MSG to season, and turn off the heat after boiling for a while. Take one dose every day for 5 to 7 consecutive days to clear the lungs and dispel heat, treat dry and itchy throat caused by internal heat, and relieve symptoms of throat congestion.

3. Chrysanthemum, Rock Sugar and Pear Drink

Preparation method: 10 chrysanthemums, 1 snow pear, appropriate amount of rock sugar, and 10 wolfberries. Soak the wolfberries in cold water, wash and pick them up. Soak the pears in light salt water for about 10 minutes, pick them up, cut them into pieces and remove the seeds, and rinse the chrysanthemums with cold water. Add wolfberry, pear, rock sugar, chrysanthemum and purified water into the health pot, turn on the power, press the fruit function, and the health pot will start working. Wait until the health pot stops working and pour out the soup and ingredients.
