If dry throat appears, the causes may be different, in particular, these are diseases of the nasopharynx. Very often it occurs in hot sunny weather, if you are in the air for a long time. As a result, the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx dries out, and it becomes more susceptible to all kinds of infectious diseases.
A dry throat can cause pain when swallowing in the form of burning or tickling. These symptoms are especially intensified if the voice load is increased. When a person is asleep, dry throat also occurs, the reasons for which lie in the mouth breathing, often turning into snoring. In this case, irritation of the pharyngeal mucosa occurs, and the likelihood of an inflammatory process increases.
If nasal breathing is difficult, the person tries to breathe through the mouth. At the same time, air purification and humidification do not occur, and the pathway for infection to enter is open. Deformation of the nose also complicates the respiratory process, and as a result, the throat also dries.
When using a very small amount of liquid, dryness in the throat also occurs, the reasons for this condition should not be sought far. This is dehydration, which, incidentally, is completely unsafe.
With the frequent occurrence of dryness of the mucous pharynx and possible infection, an inflammatory process in the form of pharyngitis can develop. The danger of this disease lies in wait in the autumn-winter period, when acute respiratory diseases are in full swing.
To avoid the development of a symptom such as dry throat, the causes should be prevented in advance, otherwise in an advanced form, treatment will be difficult. There are various methods that are used in order to hydrate the mucous membrane as much as possible and to prevent it from drying out. The most important thing is the frequent use of fluids during the day, the adoption of warm drinks at night. Also, instillation of a few drops of saline into the nose helps a lot in moisturizing the pharyngeal mucosa. The beneficial properties of vegetable oil can also protect the nasopharynx from drying out for a while.
The most common cause of dry throat in the morning is taking an undetermined dose of alcohol the night before. But in this case, giving advice is unnecessary. Each in this regard has its own individual method of "treatment".
A cough has a very strong effect on the throat, which immediately becomes inflamed, and this leads to pain. As a result of this, a person experiences a certain discomfort, since at the most crucial moment a strong fit of coughing may occur. At this time, there is a strong tension of the abdominal organs, and as a result of this there are additional pain in this area. Dry throat and cough arising from this can cause very serious harm to the body.
Another cause of coughing is the presence of bacterial or viral infections. In severe form, it is observed as a result of hypothermia of the body or respiratory tract disease. The removal of sputum from the respiratory system is performed using a cough. Also, during the process of eating, its small particles can enter the larynx. Thanks to coughing, the airways are cleaned of unnecessary particles. But sometimes a cough can occur spontaneously, for no apparent reason. In this case, you need to take a warm drink or swallow something light from food to reduce the attack and soothe the throat.
Many have disturbed sleep due to frequent bouts of severe coughing. Very useful tea with lemon. It should be drunk as often as possible during the day. And tea with honey, drunk at night, also has a therapeutic effect, and acts as a sleeping pill.
