Taboos to remember when having hoarse voice, losing voice
(Baonghean.vn) - Whether the reason is that you talked too much, sang too much, screamed too much while cheering enthusiastically for U23 Vietnam, or were sick, putting too much pressure on your voice can cause it to be temporarily lost. If you want to regain your clear voice soon, in addition to increasing your intake of bean sprouts, boiled radish with ginger..., you need to abstain from the following things.

| Refrain from speaking: The best thing you can do is not speak for a few days. Giving your throat a rest is essential for the epithelial tissue to heal. If you have to talk to someone, write instead of whispering. Whispering makes your vocal cords work as hard as when you shout. Chew gum or suck on lozenges, you will have no choice but to be silent. This also increases the ability to produce saliva. Photo: Internet |

| Avoid mouth breathing. Hopefully you got the idea when you were told to stop talking and be quiet. How else are you supposed to breathe other than through your nose? Mouth breathing dries out your mouth, so hopefully your nose isn't blocked and you can still breathe somehow! Photo: Internet |

| Limit drinks containing caffeine and alcohol: Some foods contain stimulants such as wine, beer, and coffee that will damage the throat lining when you have a hoarse voice, making your sore throat worse. Because when you are drunk, your upper respiratory muscles often lose control, secrete a lot of fluid, and you have to open your mouth to breathe when you sleep. The air you breathe does not go through your nose but goes straight through your mouth, is not filtered, is not warmed or humidified, and will increase the level of hoarseness. Photo: Internet |

| Say no to cold drinks: During the time you have a hoarse voice, you need to "isolate" yourself from cold drinks and cold foods. Always keep your body and neck warm so that your vocal cords are not further damaged. Photo: Internet |

| Avoid acidic foods. Foods like tomatoes, chocolate, and sour fruits are high in acid; the acid will gradually erode the tissue in the vocal folds. For the best effect on a sore throat, avoid these foods as much as possible. Photo: Internet |

| Fried and grilled foods: These are two food groups that people with hoarseness and loss of voice should avoid because the main symptom of hoarseness and loss of voice is a sore throat, so eating and drinking will be very difficult. When eating fried, grilled, hot foods, they will be very hard and will cause more serious damage, which is very detrimental to the recovery of the disease. Photo: Internet |

| Foods rich in sugar: People with hoarseness and loss of voice, if they do not want their throat to be uncomfortable and the condition to become more serious, should not add foods containing a lot of sugar, because sugar will cause mucus secretion in the throat, making the throat always have phlegm. In addition, bacteria's food is sugar, so eating a lot of sugary foods will make the disease more serious. Photo: Internet |

| Do not take aspirin under any circumstances. If one of the reasons you lost your voice was because you shouted too loudly, you may have ruptured a capillary. Aspirin reduces the blood's ability to clot, leading to excessive bleeding, which limits the healing process. Photo: Internet |
