Sore throats are prevalent during the monsoon season, despite the reprieve from the hot weather. Increased humidity and changeable weather can cause pain and an increased risk of sore throats and common allergies. If you have a sore throat, you may have severe discomfort, pain, difficulty swallowing, coughing, fever, and weariness. Here are some suggestions for treating a sore throat at home during the rainy season:
Common Causes of Sore Throat During the Monsoon
- Virus Infections: During the monsoon season, viral infections are common, as are sore throats. To avoid such diseases, maintain proper hygiene and avoid contact with the sick.
- Bacterial infections: Streptococcal bacteria, which cause strep throat, thrive in the damp and humid environment during the monsoon season. This can cause significant sore throat symptoms at this time.
- Allergies: During the monsoon season, excess moisture in the air can cause allergies to flare up, causing throat irritation and pain. Untreated allergies might worsen as the weather changes.
- Airborne Irritants: Rain can transport pollutants and allergens down to the ground, causing respiratory problems and contributing to throat infections.
Home Remedies to Treat a Sore Throat
- Gargle with salt water: Gargling with salt water might help relieve throat irritation. While results may not be immediate, gargling multiple times per day can provide comfort.
- Warm honeywater: Drinking warm water with a teaspoon of honey can provide relief because honey has antibacterial qualities that help fight infection.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day will help to keep your throat moist and prevent discomfort.
- Steam Inhalation: Steam inhalation can help reduce throat congestion and irritation.
- Balanced Diet: Maintain a well-balanced diet high in nutrients and fluids to promote overall health.
- Boost immune system: Eat a nutritious diet and use appropriate supplements to help strengthen your immune system.
- Wear a mask: Wearing a mask in crowded environments can help limit the spread of illnesses.
- Herbal drinks: Drink herbal tea infused with ginger, Tulsi, and honey for relaxing relief. Individuals with weakened immune systems, such as youngsters, the elderly, or those suffering from underlying diseases such as liver disease, renal problems, diabetes, lung ailments, or hypertension, should exercise extra caution. If your symptoms persist or worsen, see a doctor.
