What to do if your throat becomes red and swollen?

Discomfort in the throat will affect our voice and thus our speaking function. Sometimes the throat feels difficult to swallow for no reason, or it may be accompanied by pain. There are many reasons for this. First of all, we must protect our throat and not let it be affected by weather changes. For example, when it is cold, we must add clothes in time, etc. So what is wrong with the red and swollen throat? Let us understand the specific reasons together.

Suggestions: 1. Eating foods rich in collagen and elastin, such as pig's trotters, pigskin, tendons, fish, beans, seafood, etc., is beneficial to the repair of damaged areas caused by chronic pharyngitis.

2. Eating more foods rich in B vitamins, such as animal liver, lean meat, fish, fresh fruits, green vegetables, milk, beans, etc., can help promote the repair of damaged pharynx and eliminate inflammation of the respiratory mucosa.

3. Eat less or no fried, spicy or irritating foods, such as: fried dough sticks, glutinous rice balls, fried cakes, chili peppers, garlic, pepper, etc.

4. Drink some therapeutic drinks that can relieve sore throat and promote salivation regularly. The following two examples are for reference: Green tea honey drink: 5 grams of green tea and an appropriate amount of honey. Place green tea in a cup, pour in boiling water, add honey and drink, 1 dose per day. It can clear away heat and relieve sore throat, moisten the lungs and produce body fluid.

Tips: 1. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and coffee. Maintaining a balance of water in the body can adequately moisturize the vocal cords.

2. Don’t smoke. Even passive smoking should be avoided because smoking can significantly increase the risk of laryngeal cancer.

3. Don’t overuse your voice. Don't scream or speak loudly in noisy areas. If your throat feels dry or your voice becomes hoarse, stop talking. The speaking voice should be kept normal, not too high or too low. Speaking in a low voice is not good for protecting the voice.

There are many reasons for throat discomfort. When we find that the throat is uncomfortable, we must first go to the hospital for examination in time. Do not take medicine at will. In addition, patients should pay attention to a light diet, avoid irritating food, eat less raw and cold food, and pay attention to keeping the throat warm. Secondly, pay attention to rest, relax, avoid getting angry, drink more warm water, and take some anti-inflammatory drugs.
