First, there is always phlegm in the throat, which is related to these 4 "culprits"
In addition to lung cancer, these 4 causes can cause sputum in the throat.
1. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, phlegm is a cold substance, in other words, if there is phlegm in the throat all the time, then it is likely that the body is cold. It is like the weather becomes cold, the surface of the water freezes, the body is cold, and the fluid in the body condenses, thus forming sputum.
2. In addition, the imbalance of yin and yang in the body and heat will also produce sputum. At this time, some people may wonder, just said that cold is the main cause of sputum, why heat also produces sputum? In Chinese medicine, we often hear the 4 words "yin and yang balance", when the yin and yang in the body are in a balanced state, the body is naturally in a healthy state, and once the yin and yang are out of balance, the heat in the body is too much, especially some patients with excessive lung heat, the lungs will produce a large amount of viscous jin, which is what we call phlegm.
3, when the body is affected by the wind will also make the body produce sputum. When the body is attacked by wind and cold, it can also cause sputum production. The fluid in our body itself is regular, and when it is cold, these fluids are affected and mixed together, which in turn forms sputum.
4, in addition, there are some sputum is also what we eat, when we eat a lot of high-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar food every day, it will lead to excessive burden on the spleen and stomach, and food cannot be digested normally. A large number of nutrients accumulate in the body, and after accumulation, sputum will form wet.
Therefore, if there is only sputum in the throat, it is not necessarily a symptom of lung cancer, but it is more likely to be caused by these causes.
Second, learn these 4 tricks to help you cut off the "source of phlegm"
When there is phlegm in the throat, it is very uncomfortable to cough and not be swallowed, so how should we expectorant?
1. Drink plenty of water and gargle with warm salt water
Drinking more water can help the body fluid to run, which has a certain auxiliary effect on expectorant. You can also gargle with warm salt water, do not swallow a small sip of salt water at a time, spit it out after a few seconds, and clean your mouth. Some cases are more serious, you can rinse your mouth once every 2 to 3 hours.
2. Humidifier moisturizes the respirator
The water vapor from the humidifier helps to wet the respiratory tract, dilute the mucus, and for the mucus in the respiratory tract, it can be removed, thus playing a role in expectorant.
3. Dietary conditioning
Of course, most of the above two methods are emergency treatment, and if you want sputum to "not produce", or "disappear", more need internal conditioning. Daily can appropriately eat more foods that can dissolve phlegm, such as loquat, sydney, Sichuan shellfish, etc., while paying attention to the diet as much as possible to light, eat less high-fat and high-calorie foods, to avoid the accumulation of phlegm in the body.
4. Conditioning of traditional Chinese medicine
In some cases that cannot be improved through life conditioning, you can try to consult a Chinese medicine doctor at a professional Chinese medicine clinic and take appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor to improve it. Be careful not to take medication yourself and avoid some health effects due to improper medication.
Many times, sputum is also an important channel to reflect our health, when sputum appears, to cause vigilance.
To put it simply, in the daily found abnormal increase in sputum, we must seek medical treatment in time, although not all sputum increase is caused by cancer, but also in time to seek medical treatment to clarify the cause, and to achieve early detection and early treatment.
