1: Boiled water is the best choice, warm water or cold water is fine. However, drinking some sports drinks or amino acid drinks will be counterproductive because they contain a lot of sugar, which is not good for the throat. The way to drink water is to take small sips or swallow it. It is best to hold the water in your mouth first to fully moisten your throat, and then swallow it slowly. Don't drink in big gulps, as this can easily bring in air and cause burping and bloating. The best time to drink water is in the morning. You should also drink water in time after overusing your voice and between meals.

Also pay attention to the following in daily life: People with hoarse throats should try to eat less spicy food, and focus on light food; avoid drinking and smoking; do not overuse your voice, do not scream or speak loudly in noisy areas. If you feel your throat is dry or your voice is hoarse, stop speaking temporarily; keep your speaking voice normal, not too high or too low. Speaking too low is also not good for protecting your voice; do not cough too much to clear your throat, so as to prevent the airflow from violently vibrating the vocal cords and causing vocal cord damage.
