Health Education

1. Eat a healthy diet

The time and quality of eating should be guaranteed. If you are hungry for a long time or overeat, it will lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, affect digestion and absorption, cause physical weakness, make you prone to colds, and aggravate pharyngitis. Some people prefer meat and fried food and do not eat vegetables. Some people are afraid of getting fat and only eat vegetables and fruits. They do not eat or eat very little grain and pasta. In the long run, this may lead to nutritional imbalance in the body, resulting in deficiencies in vitamins, protein and other ingredients, and a deterioration in physical fitness. Some people like to eat too hot, too cold, or spicy food, or drink strong tea, which causes the pharyngeal mucosa to be often congested and aggravates the symptoms of pharyngeal discomfort. In addition, eating too fast and swallowing food without chewing it thoroughly will increase the burden on the throat, making it difficult to eliminate the inflammation. The mucosa can easily be pierced by foreign objects mixed in the food (such as fish bones), aggravating the inflammation. These are not good for health.

2. Live a regular life

Nowadays, people's pace of life is accelerated, interpersonal relationships are complicated, they are often in a state of fatigue and mental tension, and have fewer opportunities to participate in physical exercise. Many people lack sufficient sleep and rest, or go to bed late and get up late, disrupting their normal life patterns. Others are unhappy all day long for various reasons, which weakens their body's resistance to disease and makes them vulnerable to external pathogenic factors, causing chronic pharyngitis to linger and worsen.

3. Bad habits should be corrected

Some people are used to breathing through their mouths, and some often have dry coughs, which will aggravate the inflammation of chronic pharyngitis and are very detrimental to its recovery. Smoking and drinking are extremely harmful to the pharynx. Therefore, people with chronic pharyngitis must quit smoking and drinking.

4. Treatment should be timely

We should strive to achieve early detection and early treatment. The earlier the treatment, the better the effect. The longer you delay, the longer the treatment will be. The patients will suffer unbearable pain and the financial burden will also be increased.
