環球視角 | 吃冰棒能緩解咽痛？醫生：是真的

​近日，漳州王女士因扁桃體發炎，一連幾天咽口水都感到鑽心疼痛。

最後醫生竟建議她吃冰棒，緩解疼痛。

這是真的嗎？醫生說，“

利用冰敷或者吃冰棒來緩解咽部的疼痛，在手術中還是比較常用的

，比如說扁桃體切除術後或者頸部的手術之後，我們會讓病人做一個頸部的冰敷，或者含一些冰水，起到止血止痛的作用。”

這下，網友們可就樂了，紛紛線上@自家老母親：媽媽您看！感冒咽痛吃冰棒！我沒做錯吧！

這種事情小K也是第一次聽說，吃冰棒的正當理由又多了一個

。明白了，以後感冒咽痛了，就吃根冰棒緩解（慶祝）一下！

但是別高興得太早！人家醫生也說了，

雖然吃冰棒能緩解咽痛，但一次不可過量，且必須在保證腸胃功能正常的情況下才可以食用噢！

不過有些網友也說，對付一些小痛小病，一些鮮少有人知道的偏方其實很有效果的。

今天的環球視角，我們一起來看看，對付喉嚨痛，老外都有什麼home remedy（偏方)呢？

“11種食物，幫你擺脫soar throat！

網友Abhi Singh毫不吝嗇地跟大家分享了他用來緩解喉嚨痛的11種寶藏食物！雖然說不上最好，但是多少也有點功效噢！

1. Raw Honey

Raw Honey mixed in tea or taken on its own is a common household remedy for a sore throat。 One study found that honey was even more effective at taming nighttime coughs than common cough suppressants。 Other research shows that honey is an effective wound healer， which means it may help speed healing for sore throats。

1. 生蜂蜜

蜂蜜混合在茶中或單獨服用是治療喉嚨痛的常見家庭療法。一項研究發現，蜂蜜在治療夜間咳嗽時比普通止咳藥更有效。其他研究表明，蜂蜜是一種有效的傷口癒合劑，這意味著它可能有助於加快喉嚨痛的好轉。

2. Salt water

Gargling with warm salt water can help soothe a sore throat and break down secretions。 It’s also known to help kill bacteria in the throat。 Make a saltwater solution with a half-teaspoon of salt in a full glass of warm water。 Gargle it to help reduce swelling and keep the throat clean。 This should be done every three hours or so。

2. 鹽水

用溫鹽水漱口可以緩解喉嚨痛，分解分泌物。它也被認為有助於殺死喉嚨裡的細菌。在一杯溫水中加入半茶匙鹽，製成鹽水溶液。用它漱口可以消腫，保持喉嚨清潔。這應該每三個小時左右做一次。

3. Chamomile tea

Chamomile tea is naturally soothing。 It has long been used for medicinal purposes， like soothing a sore throat。 It’s often used for its anti-inflammatory， antioxidant， and astringent properties。

Some studies have shown that inhaling chamomile steam can help relieve symptoms of a cold， including a sore throat。 Drinking chamomile tea can offer the same benefit。 It can also stimulate the immune system to help your body fight off the infection that caused your sore throat in the first place。

3.洋甘菊茶

洋甘菊茶有天然的舒緩作用。長期以來，它一直被用於醫療目的，比如緩解喉嚨痛。它常被用於抗炎、抗氧化和收斂性。

一些研究表明，吸入甘菊蒸汽可以幫助緩解感冒症狀，包括喉嚨痛。喝甘菊茶也有同樣的好處。它還可以刺激免疫系統，幫助你的身體抵抗最初導致你喉嚨痛的感染。

4. Peppermint

It is known for its ability to freshen breath。 Diluted peppermint oil sprays may also relieve sore throats。 Peppermint contains menthol， which helps thin mucus and calm sore throats and coughs。 Peppermint also has anti-inflammatory， antibacterial， and antiviral properties， which may encourage healing。

Never use essential oils without mixing them with a carrier oil such as olive oil， sweet almond oil， or softened coconut oil。 For peppermint oil， mix five drops of the essential oil with one ounce of the carrier oil of your choice。 Never ingest essential oils。

4. 薄荷

它以其清新口氣的能力而聞名。稀釋的薄荷油噴霧劑也可以緩解喉嚨痛。薄荷含有薄荷醇，有助於減少粘液，緩解喉嚨痛和咳嗽。薄荷還具有消炎、抗菌和抗病毒的特性，這可能會促進癒合。

不要使用精油，除非將它們與橄欖油、甜杏仁油或軟化的椰子油混合在一起。對於薄荷油，混合五滴精油和一盎司你所選的載體油。非必要時永遠不要攝入精油。

5. Baking soda gargle

While the saltwater gargle is more commonly used， gargling baking soda mixed with salt water can help relieve a sore throat as well。 Gargling this solution can kill bacteria and prevent the growth of yeast and fungi。

The National Cancer Institute recommends gargling and gently swishing a combination of 1 cup warm water， 1/4 teaspoon baking soda， and 1/8 teaspoon of salt。 They recommend using the rinse every three hours as needed。

5. 小蘇打漱口

雖然鹽水漱口更常用，但用混合鹽水的小蘇打漱口也可以幫助緩解喉嚨痛。用這種溶液漱口可以殺死細菌，防止酵母和真菌的生長。

美國國家癌症研究所建議用1杯溫水、1/4茶匙小蘇打和1/8茶匙鹽漱口並輕輕攪拌。他們建議根據需要每三小時用一次漱口水。

6. Fenugreek

Fenugreek has many health benefits。 It also has many forms。 You can eat fenugreek seeds， use the topical oil， or drink fenugreek tea。 Fenugreek tea is a natural remedy for sore throats。

Research demonstrates the healing powers of fenugreek。 It can relieve pain and kill bacteria that cause irritation or inflammation。 Fenugreek is also an effective antifungal。

6. 胡蘆巴

胡蘆巴對健康有很多益處。它也有許多形式。你可以吃胡蘆巴種子，使用外用油，或喝胡蘆巴茶。胡蘆巴茶是治療喉嚨痛的天然藥物。

研究表明葫蘆巴有治癒的功效。它可以減輕疼痛，殺死引起刺激或炎症的細菌。胡蘆巴也是一種有效的抗真菌藥。

7. Marshmallow root

It contains a mucus-like substance that coats and soothes a sore throat。 Simply add some of the dried root to a cup of boiling water to make tea。 Sipping the tea two to three times a day may help ease throat pain。

People with diabetes should talk to a doctor before taking marshmallow root。 Some animal research shows it may cause a drop in blood sugar level。

7. 藥蜀葵根

它含有一種類似粘液的物質，覆蓋並緩解喉嚨痛。只要在一杯沸水中加入一些幹根就可以泡茶了。每天喝兩到三次茶可以幫助緩解咽喉疼痛。

糖尿病患者在服用藥蜀葵根之前應該諮詢醫生。一些動物研究表明，它可能會導致血糖水平下降。

8. Licorice root

It has long been used to treat sore throats。 Recent research shows it’s effective when mixed with water to create a solution for gargling。 However， pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid this remedy

8. 甘草

長期以來，它一直被用於治療喉嚨痛。最近的研究表明，當它與水混合，形成漱口溶液時是有效的。然而，孕婦和哺乳期婦女應避免這種療法。

9. Slippery elm

Like marshmallow root， it also has a mucus-like substance in it。 When mixed with water， it forms a slick gel that coats and soothes the throat。 To use， pour boiling water over powdered bark， stir， and drink。 You may also find that slippery elm lozenges help。

9. 榆樹

和藥蜀葵根一樣，它也有黏液狀物質。與水混合後，它會形成一種光滑的凝膠，覆蓋並舒緩喉嚨。使用時，將沸水倒在樹皮粉上，攪拌，然後飲用。你可能也會發現滑榆樹含片對緩解喉嚨痛有幫助。

10. Apple cider vinegar

ACV has many natural Antibacterial uses。 Numerous studies show its antimicrobial effects in fighting infections。 Because of its acidic nature， it can be used to help break down mucus in the throat and stop bacteria from spreading。

If you sense a sore throat coming on， try diluting 1 to 2 tablespoons of ACV in one cup of water and gargle with it。 Then take a small sip of the mixture， and repeat the whole process one to two times per hour。 Make sure to drink lots of water in between the gargling sessions。

There are many different ways of using ACV to treat sore throats， depending on the severity of the illness and also your body’s sensitivity to vinegar。 It is best to first consult your doctor or healthcare practitioner。

10. 蘋果醋

蘋果醋有許多天然抗菌用途。許多研究表明它在對抗感染方面有抗菌作用。由於它的酸性，它可以用來幫助分解喉嚨中的粘液，阻止細菌的傳播。

如果你感覺到喉嚨痛，試著在一杯水中稀釋1到2湯匙蘋果醋，然後用它漱口。然後喝一小口混合物，每小時重複這個過程一到兩次。在漱口期間一定要喝大量的水。

使用蘋果醋治療喉嚨痛有很多不同的方法，這取決於疾病的嚴重程度以及你的身體對醋的敏感性。最好先諮詢你的醫生或保健醫生。

11. Garlic

Garli also has natural antibacterial properties。 It contains allicin， an organosulfer compound known for its ability to fight off infections。Studies have shown that taking a garlic supplement on a regular basis can help prevent the common cold virus。 Adding fresh garlic to your diet is also a way of gaining its antimicrobial properties。 Your grandmother might have told you to suck on a clove of garlic to sooth a sore throat。 Because garlic has many healing actions， you might try this， though you may want to brush your teeth afterward to protect your teeth from enzymes and improve your breath。

11. 大蒜

大蒜還具有天然的抗菌特性。它含有大蒜素，這是一種有機硫化合物，以抵抗感染而聞名。研究表明，定期服用大蒜補充劑可以幫助預防普通感冒病毒。在你的飲食中加入新鮮大蒜也是獲得其抗菌特性的一種方式。你的祖母可能會告訴你吸一瓣大蒜來緩解喉嚨痛。因為大蒜有很多治療作用，你可以試試這個，儘管你可能想要在吃完之後刷牙來保護你的牙齒免受酶的傷害，改善你的口氣。

“對症下藥更重要”

網友Bart Loews經常會喉嚨痛，所以他頗有自己的見解：

A sore throat is a symptom。

The treatment depends on the cause of the symptom.

If your sore throat is from a bacteria like strep throat：

Go to the doctor and get antibiotics。 There’s a chance that it’ll clear up on it’s own， but there’s also a chance that it’ll get worse and spread to your lungs。

喉嚨痛是一種症狀。

治療方法取決於出現症狀的原因。

如果你的喉嚨痛是由鏈球菌性喉炎之類的細菌引起的：

去看醫生，拿些抗生素。有些症狀可能會自己消失，但也有可能會變得更糟並擴散到你的肺部。

If your sore throat is from a virus like a cold or mono：

Not much you can do to treat it quickly but you could…

Gargle warm salt water every few hours

Synthesize your own aspirin or acetaminophen from “natural sources” and take those to keep your sore throat down。

如果你的喉嚨痛是由感冒或單核細胞增多症之類的病毒引起的：

你無法快速治療它，但你可以：

每隔幾個小時用溫水漱口

用“天然的資源”合成你自己的“阿司匹林”或“撲熱息痛”，並服用它們來緩解你的喉嚨痛。

Rest.

It’s possible， but less common to have oral thrush， a fungal infection in your mouth which usually only occurs if you’re immunocompromised。

休息。

喉嚨痛有可能是口瘡，但並不常見。這是一種口腔真菌感染，通常只發生在免疫功能低下的情況下。

Get antifungals

If your sore throat is severe， corticosteroids and tylenol-3 （acetaminophen + codeine） might be prescribed to enable you to breathe， eat， and sleep。

Naturally， the only way you can really tell if it’s from a bacteria， fungus， or virus is to go to a doctor。 A throat swab will often reveal if it’s strep and a blood test will often reveal if it’s mono。 Otherwise， they’ll assume it’s viral and help you assuage your symptoms。

In general， if your sore throat lasts longer than 7 days， forget about nature， see your doctor。 Follow their advice。

服用抗真菌劑

如果你的喉嚨痛很嚴重，醫生可能會給你開糖皮質激素和泰諾-3（撲熱息痛+可待因）來幫助你呼吸、吃飯和睡覺。

自然地，你能判斷是細菌、真菌還是病毒的唯一方法就是去看醫生。咽拭子通常能查出是否是鏈球菌，血液測試通常能查出是否是單核細胞增多症。否則他們會認為這是病毒性疾病並幫助你緩解症狀。

一般來說，如果你的喉嚨痛持續了7天以上，不要理會自然因素，去看醫生。聽從他們的建議。
