SMETTI di SCHIARIRTI costantemente LA GOLA: capire le cause del CATARRO IN GOLA

Dry cough, cough, rauced, strange sensations in the throat are all symptoms that you could have an excess of catarrh in the throat in this video I want to talk to you about what can be the most common causes of an excess of mucus or catarrh in the throat that bother you and that, if they evolve, can become serious situations we will see together what are the alarm signals that must immediately push you to ask for a consultation with your doctor to understand if it is the case or not to take antibiotics rather than antibiotics, we will also find out how to prevent how to go to the source of the problem just to prevent this continuous production of catarrh be part of your daily life and instead become a jump episode when you actually have an infection let's start from the basics, what is catarrh? catarrh is the production of the gland inside your respiratory tract which allows your body to protect itself from the attack of bacteria and viruses it is precisely thanks to the catarrh that is produced that bacteria and viruses cannot enter your lungs and more serious infections are avoided right on the wall of your respiratory tract there are small eyelashes that move with the passage of air and allow the catarrh to be either spectated and thrown out or to be deglutited inside the stomach and therefore eliminated either with a sneeze or thanks to the gastric juices inside the stomach itself the mucus is viscous and it is precisely this quality to allow it to trap the particles of viruses and toxic substances it is therefore something healthy that is good for our body but when it is produced in excess and it is much too viscous it can indicate something that does not work and can be the alarm bell of something more serious let's go then to answer the first questions why in some people an excess of catarrh is formed? what are the roots of the problem? the first answer I give you, the most common and also the most widespread is related to water, to your hydration mucus is mainly formed by proteins, sugar and water but when the water comes less, when you are often dehydrated you will transform this fluid gel into something extremely sticky because it is essentially a concentration of sugar which, as you know, has the ability to stick much more to the walls in a condition like this, your eyelashes will struggle much more to mobilize the mucus which will sediment and increase in ever greater quantities inside your throat and inside your airways then bringing you as an even more unpleasant symptom that of breathlessness, respiratory difficulty and continuous fatigue sometimes the condition is so advanced that there may even be mucus sediments even in the paranasal breasts up here which can then lead to headaches or migraines connected precisely to the bad breathing of this area and paradox of this disease the mucus that is no longer expelled so easily precisely because it is no longer fluid it will be itself a source of proliferation of germs, viruses and bacteria which could increase your risk of getting infected and to have an illness, an even more serious complication exponentially especially when it's cold or especially in winter if there are times when the influenza virus is easier to attack drinking a lot of water is one of the best solutions both to produce little mucus and to avoid being attacked more easily by bacteria and viruses the second cause of excessive mucus in the throat and catarrh also in the nose is the presence of viruses, bacteria or fungi in your airways in a person who does little physical activity in a person in which the days pass one equal to the other and it is very sedentary the respiratory system is put in motion very very little then forcing the same air to stagnate with the possibility for bacteria and fungi to multiply very quickly and exponentially lungs like the nose are in fact optimal areas for the replication of viruses because they are wet and hot two essential conditions for the proliferation of these viruses and when the mucous membranes are attached and inflamed one of their defense responses is to increase the production of mucus precisely because the mucus should be the first against the entry of bacteria and viruses what is the fundamental parameter to understand if you have a normal mucus or not? if your catarrh is healthy, is that of everyday life or instead you are having a viral bacterial attack the color can tell you a lot the color and two other aspects that I will tell you now the color of a healthy and well-hydrated mucus is clear, it is a clear yellow but not intense when instead you have an infection both bacterial and viral then your catarrh, in addition to thickening and increasing could just take that characteristic very intense green color or a pale yellow tending to orange in these cases if the infection descends into the deeper airways and reaches the lungs you could actually suffer from pneumonia which is an attack of external pathogenic microorganisms to your lungs with consequences that can also be serious if in addition to the altered mucus or with a dark yellow color green and that is also very very dense you also have a fever and short breath these are the three symptoms that have to push you to immediately make a visit to the doctor because there could already be an infection which can lead to unpleasant consequences in this case it will be the doctor to make you a visit and understand if you have a bacterial or viral infection and the difference between the two is also essential for the cure if in fact the infection is bacterial then a cycle of antibiotics can help you to get rid of this type of pathogenic microorganism when instead the infection is viral the antibiotic is useless and it is very important not to take it and take it only in case of emergency because otherwise those bacteria and those viruses that you want to fight with the antibiotic they will become stronger and stronger and more and more antibiotic resistant then forcing you not only to take more time to overcome the current disease but to become much more predisposed to subsequent infections because you will have more aggressive viruses around you in addition to an ever weaker immune system the antibiotics in fact they act positively in emergency cases but they also have a negative side effect on your microbiota that is the healthy and useful microorganisms that lie inside your intestine and right inside your intestine which is also a large part of your immune system and if you kill all the healthy bacteria with antibiotics you will also reduce the strength of your immune system making you automatically much more prone to subsequent infections I repeat again the antibiotic must be the last possible alternative that only in certain specific situations your doctor and only he decide to give you to help you overcome an emergency situation in other cases, especially in children or even you and you also suffer from a high fever it is better for your body to release the inflammation autonomously by increasing the secretion of the mucus by increasing the fever and by making you feel tired and forcing you to stay in bed even 5-7 days but allowing your immune system to fight the virus or bacteria autonomously and therefore strengthen instead of strengthening it sometimes, however, instead of viruses and bacteria the cause could be more subtle and you could have an excessive cataract in the throat for digestive problems it is in fact recognized that a person who suffers from gastroesophageal reflux because maybe he has an unbalanced diet it is easy for him to develop irritations in the throat to which your body responds by producing an excess of mucus so if you don't have infections, you don't have a fever you don't have a short breath and your mucus is not green or has changed color but you keep producing it in excess look inside your stomach look inside your diet because gastroesophageal reflux could be the cause of your problems in these cases, it is the valve between the stomach and the esophagus to work badly to not close enough and therefore the gastric juices of the stomach rise up to the esophagus and even sometimes up to the throat going to create a constant irritation particularly present after eating the solution in these cases is not the most intuitive that is to reduce acidic foods because this valve closes just when it is stimulated by acidity when there is a strong acidity in your stomach the valve closes better when instead your stomach is not very acidic then it remains slightly open leaving that there is this surge of gastric juices inside the esophagus with the subsequent and immediate irritation of it in this case it is better to avoid certain foods even coffee which can easily increase gastroesophageal reflux and obviously reduce smoking and I'm only talking about smoking now but if you are a smoker you will understand perfectly that it is the main problem of all people who have a respiratory problem and are smoking unfortunately in fact the smoke with an immense amount of cancerous and aggressive molecules goes to constantly irritate the ciliated cells inside your respiratory system which respond by producing mucus it's not just mucus sometimes but they are just dead cells which are exfiltrated from your system just to eliminate it as quickly as possible it is a catharsis that tries in every way to clean up your respiratory system but it is overcome every time you light a cigarette again the long-term consequences are harmful we know them well it's not just an excessive production of catharsis or mucus but then you move on to real health problems such as bronchitis or lymphedema or chronic obstructive bronchopathy which is a chronic degenerative pathology permanent or persistent in which the airways are always narrow and closed and you will mainly suffer from bad breathing dizziness bad tissue oxygenation with all the consequences that then connect to the same and to finish with another thing that I want to talk about and share with you seasonal or permanent allergies can be another of the possible cases of excess of catharsis in the throat there are permanent allergies in which a person is always allergic to a particular type of product or substance in the environment such as those children or adults who are allergic to hair or cats or dogs and therefore in their case it is better to avoid an excessive contact or still look for a gradual expulsion and there are also those seasonal allergies due to the release of pollen in the air of plants during the spring period in this case it is obviously important to recognize what are the substances you are allergic to or that give you excessive reactions but you know one thing sometimes a correct diet can prepare you to these types of substances and make your immune system less responsive to these pathogens to these substances that trigger the allergy and in fact it is known how by exposing both children and adults from the outset to natural foods it is much easier for their immune system to recognize them as normal and therefore not have an excessive allergic reaction which instead happens when the child or adult are never exposed to the same substances which then become powerful allergens because the immune system recognizes them as something aggressive and bad and to be fought in these cases, in my opinion, one of the best strategies is again hydration drink a lot of water but sometimes this can not be enough and it would be useful for you to use a neti pot or a device of which I have already spoken in another video that you can find by clicking up here that will help you to clean your nostrils in a simple and natural way you just need to add a little salt in the water and wet your nose just to eliminate that harder and resistant catarrh that you can not simply eliminate with the cough the neti pot is one of the millenary practices that has been used already in India for millennia and today numerous studies confirm its usefulness to reduce asthmatic attacks and to reduce the risk of having infections as my dear friend Nicolas says who is in fact responsible for an ollus that produces these neti pot washing your nose is like brushing your teeth an activity not necessarily necessary but if you do it every day it can help you to avoid infections and bacterial attacks and speaking of food I also want to mention one of those substances that you would not suspect to be connected to an excess of catarrh this substance is called alcohol and why alcohol should be connected to the excess of catarrh? on the one hand we have seen it before a bad digestion problems of low stomach acidification can lead to gastroesophageal regress which will easily irritate your throat bringing excess catarrh production but in addition to that alcohol leads as a consequence the elimination through urine of a lot of water elimination through urine also means dehydration we are dehydrated our mucus, our catarrh will be more and more viscous and as we said before it will be much more difficult for your eyebrows to eliminate it are mucolytics a solution? to be honest in my opinion it is much more important not to spread the infection leave time to your immune system to fight viral or bacterial infection rather than taking a lot of drugs that do nothing but deceive you to know how to manage the situation when in reality you are protracting it for longer because when you take drugs maybe to lower the fever to be more active or to reduce the mucus and make it more loose without facilitating to the bacteria the environment in which they can reproduce more easily so the advice is always to reduce drugs to a minimum and take them only under medical advice and prescription and the last important thing that I often say in these videos sometimes, indeed almost always there are foods that act as if not better than drugs better because they have the same effect but they do not have unwanted effects and they are real drugs but long-term for a lifetime yes, but if you are in an emergency state you have a very high fever a very viscous mucus and a lack of breath an excessive breath that leads to a drop in oxygenation of oxygen saturation very low obviously it is necessary for you to go to the doctor and intervene urgently even with antibiotics but apart from these conditions very very very restricted with a very small percentage compared to what we are used to to use antibiotics in all other cases food is the real medicine and if you are interested in knowing in detail what are the foods to exclude or to add to avoid the excess of catarrh in the throat I refer you to the next video and I invite you to subscribe to this channel because in the next weeks we will talk about what are these foods that could really make you feel better in being well and having an optimal respiratory system stop being tired have more energy breathe well and be able to do physical activity calmly before leaving I thank all
