The pace of life is getting faster and faster, social exchanges are becoming more frequent, environmental pollution is gradually increasing, and there is a demand for occupational voice... Many factors have led to an increase in voice diseases year by year, which has greatly affected people's physical health and quality of life. In order to strengthen the public's attention and understanding of voice health, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery decided to designate April 16 of each year as "World Voice Day", hoping to raise people's health awareness of loving and protecting their voices and promote the development of social voice rehabilitation. April 16, 2021 is the 19th "World Voice Day". The theme of this year's Voice Day is "Everyone enjoys a good voice, and the world is beautiful because of you."

Among voice diseases, some professionals are most susceptible to them, such as teachers, operators, announcers, salesmen, singers, and other professions that frequently use their voices. In addition, there are long-term smokers and alcoholics, as well as children who are active and like to shout loudly.

Tips to keep your voice healthy

1. If you often need to speak loudly, it is recommended to use a speaker or other equipment and try to shout less. Do not clear your throat excessively, pay attention to giving your throat enough rest time, and avoid staying up late, as staying up late will increase the burden on your throat.

2. Do not live in a closed environment for a long time, and do not stay in places with a lot of dust and poor environmental quality. These places are likely to aggravate throat discomfort. You should go outdoors more often and breathe fresh air. At the same time, you can do some exercise to improve your physical fitness.

3. If you have the habit of smoking and drinking, it is recommended to quit smoking and drinking. Tobacco and alcohol are very irritating to the throat and can easily lead to pharyngitis.

4. When the weather is dry, it is easy to cause dry mouth, throat discomfort and other symptoms. So try to drink more water to replenish the body's water and relieve throat discomfort. You can also prepare an environmental humidifier or hang a wet towel by the bed to increase the indoor humidity.

5. It is recommended to eat a light diet and pay attention to balanced nutrition. Eat less fatty, greasy, spicy and irritating food to avoid excessive stimulation of the throat.

6. Get rid of the habit of mouth breathing. Frequent mouth breathing can easily cause secretions of inflammation such as rhinitis and tonsillitis to enter the throat, which can lead to chronic pharyngitis.

7. If you have any throat discomfort, such as hoarseness, sore throat, dryness, phlegm in the throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, etc., you must go to the relevant department of a regular hospital for a specialist examination and targeted treatment. You must follow the doctor's advice to use throat-clearing and throat-relief drugs to relieve throat discomfort.
