正值流感高峰期,病毒細菌從四方八面夾擊,加上轉季天氣反覆,很多人紛紛中招染病,令求診人數急增!一旦感染,最先出現喉嚨不適,感到乾燥、痕癢、疼痛,嚴重時連飲水都痛似刀割。以為喉嚨痛只是「小兒科」?85-95%的喉嚨痛是由病毒感染所致1,若沒有適當治療,更有機會將病菌感染他人!
口腔隨時成為病菌溫床?
病菌無處不在,以為做足勤洗手、戴口罩、家居清潔等防護措施就萬無一失?其實口腔衛生同樣不能忽視!正所謂「病從口入」,超過85%的喉嚨痛由病毒引起,例如流感及冠狀病毒等,其餘由鏈球菌等細菌感染引起1。主要透過直接接觸或空氣傳播﹐再經口鼻進入體內而感染。當口腔積聚大量病菌,有機會導致免疫力下降,提高發病機會,引起傷風感冒的症狀。
紓緩喉嚨痛食喉糖就得?
當家中一人中招,其他成員也有機會受感染。所以當出現喉嚨痛的徵兆時,就要及時自我治療,有助遏止喉嚨痛情況惡化,同時避免將病毒細菌傳播開去。要紓緩喉嚨痛,不少人選擇服用無藥性喉糖,雖然可以紓解一時之痛,卻無法消滅口腔病菌,甚至因此延誤病情。至於抗生素只對細菌有效,而喉嚨痛主要由病毒引起,未能真正「對症下藥」2,過度使用更可能造成抗藥性問題3。
