When the season changes or the weather changes, there are always some people who experience sore throats due to dryness, and sometimes even sore throat and saliva. Generally speaking, sore throat mostly occurs in autumn and winter seasons. The dry climate can make people susceptible to diseases such as fire, colds, tonsillitis, etc., all of which can cause sore throat. A sore throat is very uncomfortable and brings great troubles to life and work. But what should I do if I have a sore throat? How to quickly remove it?
1. Scraping therapy on the front neck
After catching a cold, one often feels sore and painful in the throat. Scraping on the front neck can help clear the throat and relieve pain effectively. Take a sitting or supine position, apply scraping oil evenly on the front neck area to be scraped, and use the flat surface of the scraping board to scrape from top to bottom along the midline until it reaches the Tiantu acupoint (located on the front midline of the neck, in the sternum between the two clavicles). Then, scrape and wipe both sides separately, using gentle techniques until the rash subsides, so as not to cause discomfort in the throat.
2. Soak fresh olives in water
Take a fresh olive every day and drink it with boiling water. If tonsillitis or hoarseness is more severe, add a little salt to mix and drink. Fresh olives can be repeatedly brewed and consumed. After drinking, do not throw away the fresh olive fruit, but chew and consume it directly to supplement the rich dietary fiber in olive fruit. In addition, you can also take 2 fresh olive fruits and brew them in green tea for consumption. You can also pair them with a small amount of honey to moisturize the lungs and protect the voice.
3. Vapor inhalation method
Try using vapor inhalation to alleviate your pain. There is very hot water in the sink. Wrap your head with a towel to trap you in the steam, and turn your head sideways when the water is flowing. Take a deep breath and inhale the vapor into your mouth and nose for about 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat several times a day.
4. Sucking garlic cloves
Dr. Degerman stated that allicin in garlic helps to kill viruses and bacteria. Cutting open garlic cloves and sucking them can help prevent infection and relieve sore throat. When you feel itchy in your throat, you can immediately hold garlic cloves in your mouth and suck for 5-10 minutes.
5. Get rid of nasal congestion
If nasal congestion is part of the reason why you breathe through your mouth, you should try to restore the patency of your nose. Nasal sprays with decongestants (such as Afrin) can be used. But do not use it continuously for more than two days. And should be used according to the instructions to avoid addiction.
