    If you have an itchy throat and you catch a cold, it means that you still have mild rhinitis, because under normal circumstances, a cold is an uncomfortable nose, and then you catch a cold. An itchy throat indicates that your cold is due to some reason that the rhinitis is slightly aggravated, which directly leads to an increase in secretions, causing an itchy throat, and then catching a cold. If you want to prevent it, take care of your nose.

    The air we breathe every day is inherently filled with bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogenic bacteria, which continue to enter our nasal passages through our breathing. But in general, the detoxification system of the nasal cavity itself is able to transport pathogenic bacteria to the nasopharynx within 15 to 30 minutes, and eventually enter the stomach to digest them. At this time, the amount of virus is always within the range that the nasal immune system can handle, so we don't get sick.

    However, when triggers such as cold, rain, excessive fatigue, etc., the detoxification function of the nasal cavity is reduced, and the virus can stay in the nasal cavity for a long time. At this point, the virus can multiply in a number that the nasal immune system cannot handle, and the virus invades the body in a big way, and we catch a cold. (It is more obvious during menstruation, pregnant women, and people with rhinitis, that is, they are more likely to catch a cold.)

    Later, when the base of the virus in the nasal cavity is larger, the number of viruses grows faster, so a large amount of virus begins to spread to other parts of the body, and this is when the systemic symptoms of a cold begin to manifest.

    Therefore, when it comes to colds, the nose acts as a base camp for the virus. As long as we continue to rinse our nasal passages with warm salt water to clear a large amount of virus out of our nose, less and less viruses will invade the human body. Eventually, the number of viruses in the nasal cavity can be reduced to what the nasal immune system can handle.

    At the same time, the body's immune system will quickly kill the virus that enters the body.

    Therefore, buy a nasal wash pot yourself, rinse your nasal cavity with warm salt water when you have a cold, and try to keep there no excess nasal discharge in your nasal cavity, which can fundamentally solve the virus problem. Use this method to catch a cold within 2 to 4 days** without taking any medication. Washing your nose in the morning and evening can prevent colds to a large extent and greatly reduce the chance of catching a cold.

    At the same time, because the flu and cold make people sick in the same process, but the types of viruses are different. Therefore, this method can also reduce the symptoms of influenza at the same time** Influenza and prevent influenza, and is suitable for all kinds of influenza.

    In this way, after the cold is cured, the number of nasal washes will be reduced to morning and evening washing, so that the nose can be slowly conditioned, **rhinitis.

    This is because, after the human body suffers from a cold, the body is in a state of exhaustion. At this time, the body's immunity will decrease.

    In the process,Some of the toxins and metabolic end products in the larynx are excreted from the body as quickly as possible, the throat will not feel so itchy.

    Therefore, after understanding how a cold causes an itchy throat, when we accidentally catch a cold, we should drink more plain water to relieve the symptoms. Sometimes, plain water is more effective than medication.
