Question
How should one treat nausea and throat dryness caused by consuming too much salt in the diet? Please provide professional medical advice.
Answer
Based on the description, eating too much salt may cause nausea and throat dryness. The primary relief measure is to increase fluid intake, especially pure water or lemon water, and avoid sugary drinks and yogurt, as excessive sugar may worsen thirst. Unsweetened soy milk is also a good choice, as it has a high water content and rich potassium, which helps promote the excretion of sodium and has a sweet taste. For food, it is recommended to eat cucumbers and pears, which are rich in potassium, vitamins, and water, aiding in the excretion of salt. If a meal is too salty, try to maintain a light diet for one or two days following the meal.
