In this article, we consider a non-specific symptom of various diseases, for example, sore throat, treatment and prevention of possible diseases. This symptom can be caused by an inflammatory process in the pharynx, allergic reactions, pathology of the thyroid gland, pharyngeal neurosis, excessive voice load. The most common causes of sore throat are allergic reactions and inflammatory processes in the throat.
In acute and chronic pharyngitis, the symptom most carries with it a sore throat, fever, difficulty swallowing. With this disease, the vocal cords receive varying degrees of damage, accompanied by hoarseness in the voice, mainly in the morning. Perhaps allergy is a response to an irritant in the form of book or house dust, and plant pollen also often causes a sore throat.
With pharyngeal neurosis, perspiration also has the ability to manifest itself, creating a pathological condition associated with a violation in the nervous system or pharyngeal apparatus. Pharyngeal neurosis in normal cases appears on the basis of syphilis, neuropsychiatric disorders, brain tumors.
Reflux esophagitis can also be a frequent cause of sore throat, the appearance of which is manifested by the reverse reflux of gastric juice into the esophagus, causing irritation in the mucous membrane. Burning and pain occurs in the throat and along the esophagus. Various diseases of the thyroid gland, for example, nodular formations that create pressure on the trachea, provoke sore throat, decreased appetite, voice changes, and a certain growing weakness. A large voice load creates occupational diseases in speakers, teachers, singers, and is likely to cause a sore throat.
So how to treat sore throat? Of course, it is necessary to treat not a symptom of the disease, but the cause of this symptom - the disease itself
If the inflammatory process of the respiratory tract is the cause, then in addition to the treatment prescribed by the doctor, you need to drink plenty of fluids (decoctions of herbs, teas, fruit drinks), rinse your throat with decoctions of calendula, chamomile. It is important not to use salty and spicy foods during treatment, to eliminate bad habits, such as smoking and alcohol, because they create irritation on the mucous membrane of the pharynx. Sore throat, treatment is directly related to strict observance of all required conditions.
If the cause of the perspiration is an allergic reaction, it is necessary to reduce contact with allergens. Do a wet cleaning and ventilate the room as often as possible, remove possible sources of allergies from your home. Gargle with saline. And, of course, you need to consult an allergist.
A medicine for sore throat can have a healing effect if this symptom is accompanied by an inflammatory process, for example, pharyngitis. Rinsing with a herbal decoction, iodine-saline solution can very well help.
One thing is important: whatever the sore throat, treatment at home, without identifying the causes, grandmother's methods are not desirable. Self-medication does not always bring the desired results, and sometimes even creates a deterioration in human health in the process of using folk remedies.
In any case, with the appearance of a symptom such as sore throat, treatment and prevention of possible diseases should be supervised by a doctor who can identify the causes and bring the treatment to the desired result.
