Home Remedies for DROOLING ---THROAT OBSTRUCTION DROOLING DURING SLEEP /

THROAT OBSTRUCTION

Drooling during sleep may occur for a variety of reasons such as posture and

illness. Most of which can be controlled with minor treatment. While sleeping

you salivate.

Though the amount is less than how you salivate during the day, you also do

not swallow as much. The frequency slows during the night. You are more apt to

drool if you breathe through your mouth while asleep. This will also increase

the likelihood of snoring and the sleep of others could also be disturbed. It

does not become a severe problem unless it is excessive. Drooling can be

bothersome, disturbing your rest during the night. Sleeping on a wet pillowcase

can be irritating.

While there is no cure, there are drugs available to help reduce the way you

salivate. Cures for ailments that may contribute are also available. Drool can

be uncomfortable and sleeping during rest periods disturbed. If asleep and you

feel moisture on your pillowcase, often changing it will help and allow you to

rest more comfortably. When asleep after getting drunk, there is a much greater

risk for drooling. If you drool during sleep there is no need to worry. This

disorder is only inconvenient and does not pose more serious problems.

A throat obstruction or choking on a fish or chicken bone can turn a pleasant

and enjoyable dining experience to a painful one instantly. Throat obstruction

leads to breathlessness because the trachea is blocked, constricted, or swollen

shut. This is one such malady that requires an instant remedy to eliminate the

pain in the throat as soon as possible. Home remedies are the first to be tried

until medical intervention becomes a necessity. Such situations may be rare but

it is important to know some helpful and handy hints one can use to relieve a

throat obstruction.

Signs and symptoms that indicate a throat obstruction

Here are some signs and symptoms that indicate a throat obstruction: Gagging

High-pitched breathing

Difficulty and pain while swallowing

Vomiting

Sudden avoidance of solid foods

Increased drooling

Pain in the neck, chest or abdomen

Inability to speak

Bluish or purple face color due to lack of oxygen

Food eating habits

There are three reasons why people choke. These are:

Mechanical obstruction

Tissue swelling

Crushing of the trachea

These key causes that lead to a throat obstruction are caused by certain food

eating habits that are best avoided. These include:

Eating too fast.

Swallowing food instead of chewing the food.

Eating food despite intoxication by alcohol

Eating food in an unconscious state by inhaling certain materials

Root of Clematis

Home remedies are first sought because of the immediate need to be cured when

the throat obstruction becomes painful.

 

Here is a comprehensive list of home remedies that can be tried in case of a

throat obstruction:

 

Break an egg into a teacup and swallow it whole. It is said that this removes

the most difficult obstructions.

 

Clear the throat by drinking liquids or swallowing bread. This may take

approximately 30 to 60 minutes to work. If it does not work try other options or

consult your doctor.

 

If the throat obstruction is caused by a fish bone stuck in the throat, one can

try swallowing a lump of boiled rice. The rice is sticky and adheres to the fish

bone. The added weight on the bone helps to dislodge it from the throat and it

goes into the stomach where it is eventually digested. If rice is not available

one can try swallowing bread. This will also have the same effect.

 

If a larger sized chicken or fish bone is the cause of throat obstruction then

gargling with some vinegar is the best alternative. The vinegar helps soften the

bone slowly. The bone can then be removed by swallowing rice or bread. The

action of vinegar may take some time but it will eventually soften the bone.

 

Another alternative is the “Root of Clematis”. This is a pale brownish-yellow

colored herb which can be obtained from the nearest herbalist. Decoct this herb

with vinegar and brown sugar and sip the decoction slowly while it is hot. This

helps dislodging the bone and also provides relief from the irritation that is

caused in the throat.

 

One can also try the Heimlich maneuver. Stand behind the person and wrap your

arms around his/her waist. Make a fist with one hand and place the thumb side of

the fist just above the person’s navel, well below the breastbone. Grasp the

fist with the other hand and make a quick, upward and inward thrust with your

fist. Continue this till the object is removed. This procedure rapidly

compresses the lungs and causes the food particle to be expelled.

 

For obese or pregnant people, wrap the arms around the person’s chest. Place the

fist on the middle of the breastbone and make firm backwards thrusts.

 

Another simple method is to grasp the persons tongue and pull it forward and at

the same time try and hook the bone with the finger. Do ensure that the hands

are clean before performing this maneuver and wash the hands immediately

afterwards as well.

Take plenty of liquid diet

It is advisable to take precautions when eating foods which could provide

obstruction to the throat such as fish and meat. It is likely that sharp bones

could cause obstruction in the throat. The suggested diet incase of throat

obstruction would ideally be plenty of liquids to clear the throat or lumps of

rice or bread that will help remove the obstruction.

Some suggestions for throat obstruction

Have every meal with an approach to taste the food and enjoy the dining

experience.

 

It is advisable to avoid eating in haste, which give rise to problems such as

throat obstruction and indigestion.
