Q Which foods or habits make the sensation worse?
A Coffee and alcohol, late dinners and night snacks, and fatty food are the main ones. When the stomach empties slowly, that irritation reaches the throat. Carbonated drinks and spicy food also irritate the lining.
Detailed Answer
Eating within two to three hours of bedtime combines with lying down to produce irritation all night. If your throat feels worst in the morning, start by reviewing your dinner time. Smoking irritates the throat lining directly and is the least favourable of all.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Finding the two or three items you react to most works better in practice than observing the whole list. A few days of recording usually points to the evening hours and one particular drink.
