夏天頻頻喉嚨痛？
Hailey：「最近沒有吃熱氣煎炸食物，但喉嚨痛持續出現，夏天特別容易出現此症狀嗎？」
CheckCheckCin：夏季五行屬火，所以在酷熱天氣下，就算如常飲食都容易「上火」，若加上熬夜、飲酒、多吃兩塊薯片，或者壓力大、曝曬過後或休息不足，第二天就可能出現喉嚨痛、口乾、口臭、大便偏硬甚至發燒等偏熱症狀。此時可適量進食一些清淡偏涼性的水果，例如火龍果、西瓜、或屬平性的蘋果。飲用具清熱作用的茶療，如竹蔗茅根紅蘿蔔水、粟米鬚茶、酸梅湯等。要謹記避免進食火鍋、燒烤、煎炸油膩、屬性偏溫熱的食物。如症狀持續，宜諮詢註冊中醫師治理。

Getting sore throat all the time during summer?
“I have not had any deep fried foods lately, but my throat hurts all the time. Is this a common issue during summer?”
CheckCheckCin: Despite having normal diets, we might still end up with excessive heat when exposed to the hot summer weather.
The condition might get worse when we stay up late, consume alcohol, eat junk food, feel stressed, have lack of rest, and are exposed to the scorching sun. Heat-related symptoms such as sore throat, dry mouth, bad oral odor, hard stools, and even fever might develop.
We can consume fruits that are slightly cool in nature. For instance, dragon fruit and watermelon. We can also have apples, which is mild in nature. Drinking herbal teas such as corn silk tea, sour plum soup, and juice made from bamboo cane, cogongrass, and red carrot can also clear heat.
Avoid hotpot, barbecue, deep fried and greasy foods, or any foods that are warm in nature. If the condition persists, consult registered and licensed Chinese physicians.
