00:00 Makati, means "place"?

00:03 It's often called "makati"

00:07 It's time again, do you also have a problem with "kati" and "sakit" in "lalamunan"?

00:11 Ehem, we have a solution for that.

00:14 Juliet met the new year with fireworks.

00:18 Not fireworks, but a "pumuputuk-putuk" that started on Swarthrode.

00:25 The fireworks were already there, but it was hard to light them.

00:30 I just let it go.

00:32 On the second day, I couldn't eat because my stomach was tight.

00:38 It was like I was vomiting.

00:40 The simple act of lighting fireworks is said to be painful for Juliet.

00:44 When I look at the fireworks, I feel like my two bellies are already vomiting.

00:53 I feel like I'm going to vomit.

00:58 According to Dr. Charles Anthony Mendez, an ear, nose and throat expert,

01:02 Swarthrode is the occurrence of a virus or bacteria in the lungs.

01:07 The most common cause in 80-90% of the cases of Swarthrode is actually viral infection.

01:14 When we say viral infection, it is seen in everything, in many places.

01:23 The most common cause is Scandinavirus or when we cough, it causes cough.

01:30 Some people ask, "Does everyone have a sore throat?"

01:34 If it's this time, it's really Swarthrode that is painful.

01:39 First, when the time is cold, viral infections thrive.

01:45 Second, during the months of the year, many people are over-exhausted and are busy with work.

01:52 So their immune system is getting weaker.

01:55 So everyone has their own solution.

01:59 Because here, almost everyone has a sore throat.

02:02 So of course, we, the neighbors, ask what we do.

02:07 I do the same. They do the same.

02:10 Julia's fight against the disease of Swarthrode is very basic and classic.

02:16 What we're going to do now is saltwater gargle.

02:20 So now, we're going to get a cup of water that is warm.

02:24 We will add 1 quart of salt.

02:27 So 1 quart of 1 spoon is this much.

02:32 So we gargle it for 1 to 3 minutes only.

02:35 She does it in the morning and night before going to bed.

02:40 Doc, is it effective to drink water with salt to relieve a sore throat?

02:45 Saltwater gargle not only fights or wards off bacteria or viruses,

02:51 but it also has a soothing sensation as well as it eases the inflammation or swelling of our tonsillar and pharyngeal muscles.

03:03 Which is, well, that's what we're going to gargle.

03:06 According to the expert, another home remedy that can help is lemon honey water.

03:12 Squeeze a whole lemon in 1 liter of water and add 1 teaspoon of honey.

03:20 It is also studied that lemon honey helps to soothe the sensation of our throat and also eases the inflammation.

03:31 To get back the beautiful voice, boil ginger. Ginger tea is the key.

03:37 Our saliva or ginger tea has many anti-inflammatory properties.

03:44 And not only that, according to the literature, it also has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties which may ward off also the infections.

03:54 That's why if a person has a sore throat, it can be a home remedy.

04:00 For some, instant solution is lozenges of throat mint candies.

04:07 Doc, is it effective?

04:10 Well, we don't advise candies because candies also have high sugar loads which is counter-effective to the improvement of our sore throat.

04:22 For mint candies, it can be transiently or just for a moment to ease the pain.

04:31 But for the long term, it is also not purely effective and it is not the right treatment strategy for our sore throat.

04:40 But this is the question of the people. Ice cream, is it to reduce the pain of the throat?

04:46 Doc, is it true?

04:48 Ice pop actually eases the pain also in the short amount of time.

04:56 However, again, it is not the right treatment strategy.

05:02 And one more, extremes of temperature, meaning it is too cold or too hot, it can also irritate the throat.

05:11 So what we actually advise our patients is to drink just room temperature or it can also be cold or hot but not too much.

05:19 According to the expert, the pain of the throat is usually when the weather is cold.

05:25 But it should still be alert and listen to the body if someone is feeling it.

05:31 You should consult an ENT doctor especially if your sore throat is not able to take home remedies and not just over-the-counter medications.

05:48 Especially if your sore throat is affected by a disease, difficulty in swallowing, difficulty in breathing and sometimes the change of voice.

06:00 And remember, the pain of the throat can be avoided.

06:04 Since one of the mode of transmission is direct contact, washing hands is also a practice to avoid it from spreading.

06:15 Meaning there are contaminants of the sore throat, pathogens and if we touch our face, eyes and mouth, we can develop sore throat.

06:28 So the next time someone asks if everyone has a sore throat, our answer is we also have home remedies and it can be avoided.
