Secret of throat protection to cheer U23 Vietnam in the historical final

To avoid hoarseness when screaming to encourage players, you need to drink enough water, do not smoke and absolutely do not whisper.

For football fans, it's hard not to scream cheering, especially when the team is about to enter the historic final with Uzbekistan at 15:00 today (November 27) at Changzhou Stadium, China. However, the aftermath was not pleasant. If you are mild, you will get a little hoarse and heavy, you may lose your voice for many days.

In fact, according to Dr. Arick Forrest, a specialist in speech diseases from Wexner University Medical Center (USA), shouting tightens the vocal cords. Like all other muscles, excessive use of vocal cords will lead to inflammation and pain. In particular, cold weather can make symptoms worse.

To protect your throat and your voice, refer to the following tips of Cleveland.

Drink enough water

To avoid hoarseness, the first thing to do is to add enough moisture to the vocal cords. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and coffee because these two drinks cause your body to dehydrate, even cause acid reflux, thereby causing vocal cord irritation.

No smoking

Smoking stimulates vocal cords and increases the risk of hoarseness. People who smoke regularly are most likely to fall into this situation, but those who occasionally smoke are not at risk.

Start up

Instead of shouting immediately, you should start with individual sounds with moderate volume and then increase gradually. This is difficult to do but very useful. The trained throat will be less vulnerable.

Rested

If you feel hoarse and throaty, you should stop cheering for a bit. The best therapy for overactive muscles is rest. At this point, you can clap, whistle or jump instead of screaming.

The day after the game, allow the throat to be released slightly by restricting the conversation. Note not whispering because in fact, this action creates a lot of pressure on the vocal cords. In a situation where it is imperative to speak, speak quietly.

See a doctor

In case the throat is still painful, the voice is still hoarse, even though you have rested for many days, you should go to the doctor for appropriate intervention. Sometimes cheering is too enthusiastic to break the blood vessels in the vocal cords and make small blood clots appear. Patients will need more time to recover.
