Dietary Therapy 1: Rock Sugar
Experts say that rock sugar is neutral and slightly cool in nature, and has the effects of tonifying the middle jiao and replenishing qi, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, and relieving cough and resolving phlegm. In addition, rock sugar is often added to traditional Chinese medicine to enhance its efficacy.
Dietary Therapy 2: Green Tea
Drinking green tea can also help with a sore throat. Because green tea is cool in nature, it has the effects of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, and clearing heat and detoxifying.
Dietary Therapy 3: Pear
Pears have a soothing effect on the throat and can alleviate the symptoms of a sore throat. Slicing a pear and juicing it makes it easier to consume. For children who are sensitive to cold or prone to diarrhea, it is best to drink the pear juice warm.
Dietary Therapy 4: Kumquat
You can also eat some kumquats for a sore throat. Kumquats are nutritious, containing vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and calcium, and have the effect of reducing throat inflammation.
Ordinary sore throats are usually caused by viruses that cause colds and flu, and can resolve naturally without lasting too long. However, if the sore throat does not improve after a few days and is accompanied by a fever, regardless of the cause, it is necessary to seek medical attention.
