How to treat dry and itchy throat during pregnancy

In fact, many times pregnant women do not pay much attention to their own bodies, especially to their own hygiene issues, otherwise they will suffer from some symptoms of colds, such as dry and itchy throat. So let us learn about the maintenance methods for dry and itchy throats of pregnant women.

Maintenance method:

Keep your throat moist

Drink small amounts of water several times a day to keep your throat moist. Preparations or drinks containing vitamin C are very beneficial for a swollen and sore throat. You can take small sips and let the liquid flow slowly down your throat. You can also gargle with vitamin C and chlorophyll plus sea salt (half a teaspoon in a cup of warm water) every few hours. Fresh fruit juice is the best drink, and honey and lemon can also protect the throat.

●Avoid spicy foods

Spicy foods can add fuel to a sore throat and make the condition worse. Greasy food is also not conducive to the patient's recovery.

●Supplement acidophilus

If you take antibiotics, don't forget to take acidophilus and yogurt to replenish the beneficial bacteria that have been destroyed.

Use a humidifier

If the climate is dry and you tend to sleep with your mouth open, adding a humidifier is a good solution.

●Hiding at the bedside

If you think the pain is coming from acid reflux, try sleeping on an inclined surface. Place a brick or board under your bed so that the head of your bed is 4 inches higher than the foot of your bed. Putting pillows under your head will not help because it will cause your body to bend and put even more pressure on the esophagus, making the problem worse. Likewise, be careful to avoid eating or drinking anything within 1-2 hours before going to bed.

The above article introduces in detail some maintenance methods for dry and itchy throats of pregnant women. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you should not take medicine indiscriminately, but go to the hospital for examination.
