There are many types of throat lozenges on the market, and many people like to have everything on the face, nourishing the throat, and refreshing. However, relevant experts reminded that the throat lozenges cannot be eaten for a long period of time. Continually containing throat tablets for more than 10 days may cause disorder of the oral flora. People who are allergic to iodine are better off not taking lozenges, because most lozenges contain iodine, but some are not stated on the packaging.

Different ingredients, different effects

Why cann't long-term lozenges be eaten? This will start with the composition of lozenges. Chen Shaohua, chief physician of the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at the People's Hospital of Guangdong Province, introduced that the common throat lozenges that are commonly consumed by consumers are generally divided into two categories - western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine throat tablets commonly used include Huasu tablets, lysozyme lozenges, Dujuanfen tablets, four seasons throat tablets. Western medicine throat tablets mostly contain iodine, quaternary ammonium salt, etc., can directly act on the local lesion infection site, directly kill the local bacteria, viruses, etc., can effectively treat throat inflammation, but the lung pain caused by lung infection did not treatment effect.

There are many types of Chinese herbal lozenges, such as Yinhuang Lozenge, Compound Cauliflower Lozenge, and Watermelon Cream Lozenges. The composition of traditional Chinese medicine lozenge tablets is relatively complex, and most of them have the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and producing fluids.

Long-term throat tablets have side effects

Although throat lozenges are small, long-term use may result in more than just side effects. Chen Shaohua said that the side effects of moisturizing throat tablets mainly include four types -

1. Oral dysbacteriosis, that is, long-term use of antibacterial antibacterial throat tablets, resulting in reduced oral beneficial bacteria, resulting in oral fungal infections. The main symptoms are oral ulcers, dry throat pain, and burning sensations. Severe persons can even see the white mycelium in the mouth. Such side effects are more common in clinical practice and generally disappear after about one week of discontinuation of throat lozenges.

2, people with iodine allergies eat iodine throat tablets, allergic reactions will occur, light skin erythema in the mouth, in serious cases may lead to diarrhea or shock.

3. Borneol tablets in traditional Chinese medicine may cause diarrhea. Borneol is a component of many traditional Chinese herbal remedies. It is cool, and it can easily lead to diarrhea in people with stomach-deficiency.

4, improper use of throat tablets, may lead to increased throat infection.

Continually containing throat tablets for more than 10 days

How to use throat lozenges in the end? Chen Shaohua said that in the case of throat discomfort, you can choose to eat throat tablets to ease, but if you do not see improvement after eating 7-10 days, you should go to the hospital for comprehensive treatment. For people who do not have throat discomfort and eat throat tablets just for breath freshening purposes, Chen Shaohua suggested that after eating throat tablets for 7-10 days, they should stop eating for two to three weeks. Such an interval is good for oral health.

He reminded that for people with throat discomfort, it is necessary to prescribe the right remedy and choose the right throat piece to eat. For example, western medicine lozenges are mainly used for adjuvant treatment of pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by bacterial infections. For patients with acute and chronic pharyngitis and other inflammatory diseases, Chinese medicine Yinhuang Lozenge has a strong anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effect and has good curative effect. The main effect of watermelon frost lozenges is anti-inflammatory and pain relief, fluid and throat, suitable for dry laryngitis, hoarse voice. The compound grass coral lozenge has the effects of clearing wind, removing heat, swelling and pain, clearing the throat, and has a good curative effect on chronic pharyngitis.

Chen Shaohua reminded iodine-allergic people that because most throat lozenges contain iodine components and some are not stated on the packaging, it is best not to take lozenges. Especially for mothers who are allergic to iodine, they should not use the laryngeal mask to avoid allergic reactions and even lead to miscarriage.
