Do you sometimes experience a sore throat while fasting?
A dry throat can occur during fasting because the body goes many hours without water.
Certain habits may also increase throat irritation.
Among them are :
• Dehydration from not drinking enough fluids after iftar
• Acid reflux after eating heavy or spicy meals
• Breathing through the mouth while sleeping
• Viral infections such as flu or common cold
Taking care of hydration & choosing balanced meals can help reduce throat irritation during fasting.
If your sore throat persists or is accompanied by fever or difficulty swallowing, consult a doctor at Klinik Dr Muiz.
