Keeping safe and sane is the key to keeping the balance in our lives, but like everyone else, we sometimes ask the question – HOW do we keep safe? One important thing that we should consider and never be negligent about is – throat health.
How daunting could it be to experience the early signs of a sore throat? The dryness & itchy feeling in your throat that doesn’t seem to be going away. Well, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention & Mayo Clinic, here are some tips to prevent it and how to take care of your throat:
- Avoiding people who are sick
- Avoid sharing food or utensils with others
- Drinking fluids like water to prevent dehydration
When the start of the itchy feeling arrives, one can only do so much with home remedies. Instead, an ideal solution is gargling with an oral antiseptic like Hexetidine (Bactidol), in order for us to be #ProtektadoAgad.
