Stream A and stream B are just right
Many people have been "tricked" again
Sore throat, throat
Like the "swallowing blade" of the year......
Many people have questions
"A new virus attacking the throat is coming?"
Sudden onset of laryngitis
What exactly is a virus?
"My throat swelled overnight,
At first, I thought it was tonsil inflammation,
Then I started to have a low-grade fever and I had no strength all over my body.
My throat was so swollen that I couldn't swallow water. ”
On January 28, Wang Yuan, who works in Beijing, thought that she had the new crown or flu at first, but all of them were "negative" when she checked out, and she began to take anti-inflammatory drugs as soon as her throat was swollen.
Netizens in a similar situation to Wang Yuan
Not a few on social media
Xie Jin, chief physician of the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, said in an interview on January 23 that some acute pharyngitis is caused by viral infections, and different influenza viruses such as influenza A and influenza B may cause the same symptoms.
It may also be common viruses, adenoviruses, etc., and ordinary viruses are sometimes not detectable by testing. Therefore, there will be people with sore throat, and they will go to the hospital to find out that it is not the current epidemic of viruses such as influenza A, influenza B and mycoplasma pneumonia.
When can I self-medicate?
When should I go to the hospital?
The doctor reminded that not all fever and sore throat are caused by the new crown and flu, and there is no need to be too nervous. When the above symptoms appear, some spicy and cool drugs can generally be used, such as pharyngitis tablets, Lanqin oral liquid, etc. In addition, you should drink plenty of water, try to eat lightly, and develop good eating and living habits.
If you have a swollen throat and severe pain, you can't swallow eating, you can't speak like you are holding a rice ball, or your systemic symptoms are obvious, such as fever, headache, and sore limbs, you should go to the hospital for treatment. In addition, if the cough and phlegm are very severe, then not only the upper respiratory tract, but also the lower respiratory tract, bronchi, and lungs may also have problems, in this case, you have to go to the hospital to see it, and you need to take a film.
These methods can relieve the "blade throat"
The sore throat is more severe
It hurts so much that I can't stand swallowing a mouthful of saliva
Is there anything that can be done to alleviate this?
1. Take painkillers
Oral pain relievers are very effective in reducing the pain of acute laryngitis in adults, with acetaminophen and ibuprofen being the most commonly used and safest pain relievers.
2. Eat something iced
Very cold foods such as ice cubes, frozen popsicles, ice cream, frozen yogurt, etc., have a numbing effect and temporarily reduce or relieve swallowing pain.
3. Eat something to moisten your throat
Honey and hard candies can also relieve sore throats to a certain extent, especially throat lozenges that contain mint.
4. Drink plenty of water
Room temperature, cold water, and lukewarm water are fine, as long as they avoid overscalding.
Finally, a reminder again
The Spring Festival holiday is coming
The risk of transmission of respiratory diseases may increase, and it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, and it is recommended to wear a mask in crowded and high-flow or confined environments
