What's the matter with the white stuff on the throat?

Some people who often eat chili peppers are prone to sore throats. Excessive stress can also cause sore throats. There may also be white stuff in the throat. Many people don’t know what the white stuff in the throat is. You should eat foods that are good for the throat and avoid irritating foods such as chili peppers. What’s the matter with the white stuff in the throat? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What’s the matter with the white stuff in the throat?

The white substance in the throat may be tonsillitis, which can cause pus in the throat, resulting in a foreign body sensation in the mouth. This requires going to the hospital for a detailed examination.

2. How to protect your throat in daily life?

1. Don't clear your throat too much. Because when this action is performed, the air flow will violently vibrate the vocal cords, thereby damaging them. If your throat feels uncomfortable, take small sips of water or swallow. But if you have to clear your throat constantly, see your doctor; reflux disease, allergies, or other conditions may be to blame.

2. Pay attention to the way you speak, use an appropriate speed and tone, and try to speak calmly. Do not overuse your voice. Keep your speaking voice normal. Do not speak loudly even in a noisy area, and do not deliberately speak softly. Speak slowly or for too long. If you feel your throat is dry or hoarse, stop speaking. Avoid using your voice when you have a cold. The total speaking time per day should not exceed three hours.

Don't talk for more than an hour and a half to give your vocal cords enough rest.

3. Maintain a moist and clean oral environment and develop good mouthwashing habits. Rinse your mouth with light salt water every morning, after meals and before going to bed to keep your throat clean. Gargling with salt water can also reduce inflammation caused by pharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infections.

4. Maintain oral temperature. When drinking water, choose water above 40 degrees Celsius. Don’t drink water that is too hot, especially before the show starts. At the same time, the studio environment should also try to maintain room temperature.

5. Pay attention to rest. An important reason for the normal performance of the voice is that the body should not be tired. Maintain vitality before going on stage and bring about diverse changes in the voice with abundant vitality. If your body is tired, it will definitely affect the performance of your voice. Do not linger in social places with polluted indoor air such as bars and nightclubs, put an end to bad habits such as staying up late, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid the occurrence of throat diseases.

6 Pay attention to the environment. Car exhaust is the natural enemy of the throat. If you have just done voice exercises, the capillaries in the oral cavity and pharynx are prone to rupture, and sometimes you can't feel it. If you go out at this time and accidentally inhale car exhaust or gas with polluting components, your throat will easily become infected and sick. Therefore, it is recommended to stay in an environment with clean air as much as possible when your throat is tired, otherwise it is easy to get pharyngitis.

7. Avoid drug dependence. Most people like to drink some chrysanthemum and puffed sea water when drinking water daily. When you go out, you can always have some throat moisturizing products with you. When you feel your throat is dry, itchy and painful, you can take them to stimulate saliva secretion. It is good to drink more heat-clearing and fire-removing tea in life, but do not develop a habit of relying on drugs, otherwise your throat will often have problems.

8. Eat a light diet. Pay attention to your diet and try to eat light food. Do not eat or eat less irritating food, especially spicy food (such as chili peppers, garlic, ginger, etc.). In addition, do not eat hard, dry foods such as fried foods to avoid mechanical damage to your throat. Eat less hot, cold and spicy food, quit smoking and drink less alcohol. Don't smoke and stay away from people who smoke as much as possible. Appropriately avoid cold drinks, as cold food has a restraining effect on muscle stretching. The muscles of the vocal organs are originally in a very relaxed state. Once cold food is eaten, the muscles are stimulated by the "cold" and will naturally contract, thereby reducing the elasticity of the muscles, and then affecting the production and beautification of the sound.

3. Notes

Drink plenty of water on a daily basis and avoid staying in a dry environment for too long. If you feel thirsty, drink water in time. Drinking more boiled water can help prevent dry, itchy and painful throats, and maintaining a balance of water in the body can fully moisturize the vocal cords. Make sure to drink 6 glasses of water a day. Develop good exercise habits, improve your physical fitness through aerobic exercise, increase disease resistance, and avoid the occurrence of throat diseases.
