What are some simple self-treatment methods for pharyngitis and laryngitis?

Nowadays, many cases of laryngitis and pharyngitis occur in children. This is because children often catch colds and have poor immunity, which can cause inflammation of the throat. The simple treatment for pharyngitis is to regulate it through food. Children have poor body resistance and taking medicine for a long time can easily cause drug dependence. Therefore, it is very important to control it as much as possible and choose appropriate methods of regulation.

The dietary therapy for acute laryngitis in children is:

1. Radish, sugar and ginger drink. Ingredients: appropriate amount of raw radish, ginger juice, and white sugar. Preparation and administration: Mash the radish to extract the juice, mix it with ginger juice and sugar, boil it in water and take it frequently.

2. Loofah drink. Ingredients: appropriate amount of raw loofah and rock sugar. Preparation and directions: Squeeze 1 small cup of loofah juice, boil it and add rock sugar. It can be consumed frequently.

3. Drink honey in winter. Ingredients: egg yolk (soft membrane inside the egg), asparagus, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Preparation and administration: Put the above materials in a bowl, add appropriate amount of water, boil in boiling water, filter out the inner membrane and drink the juice.

4. Olive and rock sugar drink. Ingredients: raw olives, rock sugar. Preparation and administration: Crush the olives, add appropriate amount of water and rock sugar into a pot and fry until cooked, then take the juice in three doses.

5. Sugarcane, radish and honeysuckle soup. 200 grams of sugarcane, 200 grams of white radish, 6 grams of honeysuckle, 6 grams of light bamboo leaves, and 20 grams of rock sugar. Peel the sugarcane and cut into sections; peel the white radish and cut into pieces; wash the honeysuckle and bamboo leaves separately; put them into the pot together, add appropriate amount of water, boil over high heat, then simmer for about 30 minutes; when the soup is almost done, add rock sugar and cook until it dissolves. Clears away heat and detoxifies, moistens dryness and harmonizes the stomach, resolves phlegm and relieves asthma.

Acute laryngitis in children is an acute inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa, mainly in the glottis area. It often occurs in winter and spring, and is particularly common in infants and young children. Because children's laryngeal cavity is small and the laryngeal mucosa is loose, swelling can easily lead to glottal obstruction. Children have poor cough reflex, and tracheal and laryngeal secretions are not easy to be discharged, which can easily cause severe laryngeal obstruction. If timely and effective treatment is not taken, the condition may progressively worsen, endangering the health or even life of the child.

The symptoms of acute laryngitis in children are mostly fever, hoarseness, cough, etc., but the possibility of other complications due to poor resistance of children cannot be ruled out. Generally, acute laryngitis in children is accompanied by fever symptoms. The specific situation varies from person to person. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for examination, find out the cause and then give symptomatic treatment.

If a child is found to have upper respiratory tract inflammation such as influenza, timely diagnosis and treatment should be sought. Children with symptoms of acute laryngitis should be promptly diagnosed and treated, and changes in the condition should be observed at all times to prevent unexpected events. Be caring and considerate to the sick children, try your best to meet their needs, be gentle and kind when caring for them to eliminate their fear.

When the child becomes restless, sedatives should be used, but avoid using drugs that suppress breathing. At the same time, pay attention to aseptic techniques when performing various operations to reduce all chances of infection. During the cold epidemic, try to reduce going out to prevent infection. You should live a regular life, eat in moderation, have regular daily routines, go to bed at night and get up early to avoid catching a cold. Avoid cross drafts while sleeping.
