In addition to medication, proper dietary adjustment is also very important for pharyngitis. The following are some recommended foods and注意事项:
1. Maintain adequate fluid intake; warm water, light salt water, or honey water can help relieve throat dryness and pain.
2. Eat more light, easily digestible foods, such as rice porridge and noodles. Consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and kiwifruit, and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as spinach and tomatoes, to enhance immunity and promote the repair of pharyngeal mucosa.
3. Regarding meats, you can choose beef, chicken breast, lean meat, shrimp, etc., to supplement protein and promote recovery. In addition,适量 consumption of foods with anti-inflammatory properties, such as ginger, garlic, and onions, can also help alleviate inflammation.
4. Avoid spicy, smoked, fried, and other irritating foods to prevent worsening of inflammation.
Dietary adjustments cannot replace professional medical advice; if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
