THE CAUSE OF SORE THROATS AND COUGHS

The sore throat is one of the most common health complaints. Classic symptoms include irritation, a ‘burning sensation’ at the back of the throat and pain when swallowing. Most sore throats are caused by viral infections such as the cold or flu. Breathing polluted air, being exposed to pollens, moulds or pet dander as well as unhealthy lifestyle choices are also leading causes.

How to protect your voice

DRINK MORE WATER AND EAT MORE NOURISHING FOOD

AVOID THROAT CLEARING

When our throat feels dry or uncomfortable, some of us may like to clear it. However, if we clear our throats too often, the friction between the air and the mucous membrane in the airway passages may increase and lead to swelling and inflammation.

STOP SMOKING AND AVOID EXCESSIVE DRINKING

Cigarettes contain many irritating substances that can damage our respiratory tracts. Excessive drinking is also something to be avoided as alcohol itself can irritate the throat.

EAT LESS HOT AND SPICY FOOD

Food that is too spicy or too salty can harm our throats.
