What to do if your throat hurts and is hoarse

Sore throat is mostly caused by heat in the body, which can be improved by taking oral antipyretic drugs. But what should you do if your throat is both sore and hoarse? This is also a phenomenon caused by getting angry, and because it is quite serious, it causes the inability to make any sound. If you don't want to take medicine to improve the condition, you can adjust your diet and eat more foods that have the function of clearing away heat and reducing inflammation, such as drinking more chrysanthemum tea or honeysuckle tea; you can also eat more foods such as kelp and fungus.

1. Eat with Tremella fuciformis. 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 (treats 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 drop soup, add a little sugar and sesame oil, drink it while it is hot. This is the legendary egg tea.

How to protect your voice Hoarseness and loss of voice are common problems for those who need to speak for a long time or do not use their throat properly. If hoarseness persists for more than two weeks, it is best to see an ENT doctor for examination and treatment. Generally speaking, silent rest is the best way to treat hoarseness. As for vocal calluses, surgery is not necessarily required. Speech therapy can be done first. Only when the nodules are too large or speech therapy is ineffective, laryngeal endoscopic microsurgery is necessary. Here are some tips for protecting your voice in daily life:

1) Limit talking time outside of work and reduce unnecessary long chats or phone calls.

2) Speak at an appropriate volume and make good use of the microphone to make up for insufficient volume.

3) Speak slowly, pause frequently to breathe, and don’t make a sentence too long.

4) The speaking tone should not be too low or too high, and the emphasis should not be placed on the prefix of each sentence.

5) Whispering is an incorrect way of speaking.

6) When speaking for a long time, you should drink more warm water to keep your throat moist.

7) Try to speak easily with your abdomen (i.e. Dantian), and do not speak with your chest or by tensing your neck muscles.

8) Do not smoke, drink, or eat spicy or fried foods, such as strong tea, coffee, chili pepper, chocolate, cold drinks, etc.

IX) Avoid clearing your throat, coughing, etc.

10) Get enough sleep and don’t eat too much before bedtime.

11) Do appropriate exercise and keep yourself happy and relaxed.

12) When you have a cold, you should try to talk less and drink more warm water to protect your vocal cords.
