As the old saying goes, wisdom is in the hands of the people, and the wisdom of the masses is infinite. In life, some simple treatments can solve big problems. 1, acute inflammation of the uvula Acute inflammation of the uvula edema becomes large or acute pharyngitis, sometimes swelling of the throat, pain is unbearable, eat or meal and drink water pain intensifies, and even some people speak or breathe are affected. This situation anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary, but often the effect is very slow, is hanging saline also take several days. The author has suffered from laryngitis, the uvula is swollen, hanging down to the tongue, when the mouth is open the throat can not be seen, and swallowed with the uvula when eating, the pain is unbearable. The effect of hanging saline was not obvious. I was taught a method by a woman who said that half an hour could relieve the symptoms, but at first I didn’t believe her, and then I tried it with the attitude of trying. The lady dipped the tip of a slightly wet chopstick in a little salt and applied it to my swollen throat, then told me to open my mouth, bend over and wait with my mouth facing down. I stayed like that for fifteen minutes with my face to the trash can and my back to the sky, my mouth dripping all the time, I must have been in a terrible state. Fifteen minutes later, I found that it was like having a new throat, and I was able to get up right away, relieving most of the pain. I thought of sharing this very simple and useful method after thanking the lady. This method is actually based on the hypertonic dehydration principle of salt, which can quickly eliminate edema and reduce the symptoms of throat blockage. Some people also say that using sugar can also work, but the effect is slightly worse. Finally, I would like to tell you that although this works, it is not a cure for the symptoms. There is also this kind of recurrent attacks, throat swelling may be less effective, it is recommended to see a professional doctor. 2, the larger foreign body stuck in the throat (pharynx): Once the foreign body stuck in the pharynx, can be handled according to the following steps: (1) self-help approach: ① immediately stop eating, try to reduce swallowing action. (2) Do coughing action to cough out the foreign body. (3) Stimulate the posterior pharyngeal wall to induce vomiting action to help expel the foreign body. (2) Other rescue methods: ① Ask the patient to open the mouth, make the “ah” sound, or use a small spoon to press the tongue down, use a flashlight or reflector to see the situation in the pharynx, if you find a foreign body, use forceps to hold and gently pull out. If the patient’s pharyngeal reflex is sensitive and it is difficult to cooperate with great nausea, the patient can be asked to make a breathing action to reduce discomfort. The “Heimlich maneuver”, which is said to have saved one million lives over the decades! The principle of the Heimlich maneuver is to use a sudden shock to the abdomen – the soft tissue under the diaphragm – to generate upward pressure to compress the lower part of both lungs, thus driving the residual air in the lungs to form a stream of air. This airflow with impact and directional long-drive in the trachea can drive away the foreign bodies such as hard pieces of food blocking the trachea and larynx, so that people can be saved. “Heimlich maneuver” specific response to the victim standing or sitting rescuer standing behind the victim, holding his abdomen from behind, arms around his waist and abdomen, one hand clenched fist, fist pressed inward in the victim’s navel and between the ribs; the other hand into a palm cover pressed on top of the fist, both hands sharply and forcefully squeezed upward, repeatedly Implementation, until the obstruction spit out. The victim lies on the ground, due to lack of oxygen and unconscious rescuer hold the victim’s back to make it lie on its back, two feet left and right apart kneeling on both sides of the victim’s buttocks, one hand with the palm root press the part between the navel and the rib cage, the other hand palm cover its palm above, force quickly squeeze, repeatedly to the throat foreign body evacuation. Owners are victims, isolated with their own fists and the other palm stabbing, or with a rounded corner or the back of the chair quickly squeeze the abdomen. In this case, any blunt-angled object can be used to squeeze the abdomen and allow the obstruction to be evacuated. If the victim is an infant under 1 year of age, the rescuer sits on the floor and places the infant on his or her back on a lap or firm surface, or sits the infant on his or her lap facing the rescuer and uses the index and middle fingers of both hands to reflect the “squeezer” and quickly and gently squeezes inward and upward. If the foreign body is deep and not easy to find, go to the hospital immediately and ask the ENT doctor to help you deal with it.
