How to Nurture and Care for Your Voice?

Methods to protect the throat include minimizing speech and shouting, adjusting diet, drinking throat-lubricating teas, and exercising to enhance resistance. Chronic pharyngitis and chronic rhinitis can both stimulate the mucosal lining of the throat, causing discomfort, and gastroesophageal reflux can also cause throat discomfort. In such cases, it is necessary to identify the cause and treat it appropriately to prevent the problem from becoming more severe.

1. Minimize speaking and avoid shouting to effectively prevent patients from experiencing sore throat and hoarse voice.

2. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or salty foods to prevent inflammation.

3. Drink infusions of herbs such as fat seaweed, golden lotus, or tangerine peel instead of regular tea, which can effectively lubricate the throat and reduce symptoms of throat dryness.

4. Consume throat-lubricating fruits such as watermelon and snow pear regularly.

5. Exercise regularly to enhance resistance.

Throat discomfort may be caused by several factors:

1. Chronic pharyngitis, due to chronic inflammation of the mucosal lining of the throat, causing a sense of discomfort.

2. Chronic rhinitis, which can cause postnasal drip with secretions remaining in the nasopharynx, stimulating the mucosal lining of the throat and causing discomfort.

3. Gastroesophageal reflux, which can cause a sense of foreign body in the throat, resulting in discomfort.
