What should I do if my throat hurts from talking too much during a lecture?

Throat pain caused by lecturing requires treatment based on specific circumstances and may result from insufficient water intake or chronic pharyngitis. Treatment options include general management, medication, or surgical intervention.

1. General Management: If the aforementioned symptoms are due to inadequate fluid intake, no special treatment is necessary. Increasing daily water consumption can help alleviate these discomforts.

2. Medication: If symptoms are caused by chronic pharyngitis, patients should consult a doctor and may use medications such as cydiodine lozenges, menthol lozenges, or watermelon frost lozenges.

3. Surgical Treatment: For throat pain from chronic pharyngitis due to lecturing, in addition to following medical advice for drug therapy, surgical options may be considered depending on disease severity. In severe cases of chronic pharyngitis, treatments such as low-temperature laser plasma therapy or partial ablation of lymphoid follicles may be used.

During treatment, it's important to adjust your diet to include light, easily digestible foods, avoid overeating, and reduce intake of raw, cold, and spicy foods.
