It's hard to take medicine for a sore throat, so learn how to avoid taking medicine

Every time the seasons change, the weather starts to fluctuate between hot and cold. Many people not only catch colds and coughs, but also have sore throats. Most patients with sore throats have tonsillitis, which makes people feel very uncomfortable and causes great trouble to life and work. In addition to taking medicine, you can also use these non-drug methods to relieve sore throats, which are both effective and have no side effects.

1. Scraping the front neck

After a cold, you often feel a sore throat. Scraping the front neck can clear the throat and effectively relieve pain. Sit or lie on your back, apply scraping oil evenly on the front neck to be scraped, and use the flat surface of the scraping board to scrape from top to bottom along the midline to the Tiantu point (on the anterior midline of the neck, in the suprasternal fossa between the two clavicles). Then, scrape both sides separately with gentle techniques until sha appears, so as not to cause discomfort in the throat.

2. Soak fresh olives in water

You can take a fresh olive every day, brew it with boiling water and drink it. If your tonsillitis or hoarseness is more serious, you can add a little salt and mix it with the drink. Fresh olives can be brewed and drunk repeatedly. Do not throw away the fresh olives after drinking them. Instead, chew and eat them directly to supplement the rich dietary fiber in the olives. In addition, you can also take 2 fresh olives, put them in green tea and brew it. You can also add a small amount of honey to moisten the lungs and protect the throat.

3. Steam inhalation

Try steam inhalation to relieve your pain. Run very scalding hot water in the sink. Wrap a towel around your head to surround yourself with the steam and tilt your head sideways as the water runs.

Take a deep breath, drawing the steam into your mouth and nose, and do this for about 5 to 10 minutes.
