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.
