[00:01:32] Dr. Mahmoud Sahel, a specialist in ear, nose,
[00:01:36] and throat diseases, and today we had a conversation with him about
[00:01:40] seasonal sore throats. Dr. Saheb, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi, good morning.
[00:01:44] Assalamu Alaikum, good morning to you
[00:01:46] too. May you be well. Dr. Saheb, how did you start your morning
[00:01:50] today? May you be well. Alhamdulillah.
[00:01:53] It was good. Alhamdulillah.
[00:01:56] Unfortunately, with the arrival of the season or, let's say, with
[00:02:00] the change of seasons, ear, nose, and
[00:02:03] throat diseases increase a little bit. When we wake up in the morning,
[00:02:06] we feel that our throat is sore.
[00:02:10] It slowly gets better until 11 or 12 o'clock. What is the reason that
[00:02:14] the season changes and
[00:02:17] we get sore throats and things like that,
[00:02:20] and colds and flu and some other diseases? Look, first we'll have a
[00:02:24] short definition about it. Very
[00:02:28] good. In our part.
[00:04:00] a problem or a disorder in the throat and nose area is experienced.
[00:04:04] This is a problem. Correct, Dr.
[00:04:07] Is it possible that the food we
[00:04:10] eat at night, sometimes we might eat fatty food, sometimes
[00:04:14] we might eat sweet food, like various foods, maybe salty
[00:04:17] food. Is it the reason that when we wake up in the morning,
[00:04:21] we have a sore throat? Exactly. Look, when you
[00:04:24] eat fatty food at night or consume food that
[00:04:28] is oily. Later, it remains in the saliva
[00:04:32] of the mouth, in the teeth. Our patients have dental problems
[00:04:35] and this causes them to develop
[00:04:39] throat problems as well. When you
[00:04:42] chew all the food, food residues remain
[00:04:46] in the digestive system.
[00:04:49] When it remains, when you wake up in the morning, or
[00:04:53] you rest at night, it turns into a solid.
[00:04:57] Oil remains in the area of the digestive system.
[00:05:01] And many people who have more problems,
[00:05:04] they have a condition called GERD, or
[00:05:08] we call it reflux. They have this condition where the
[00:05:11] acid refluxes. That is, when the
[00:05:15] digestive system tries to go to the stomach, their
[00:05:19] stomach area does not close. When they sleep at night,
[00:05:22] this stomach acid along with food sometimes comes up to the throat
[00:05:26] area and irritates both the ear and
[00:05:29] damages the throat.
[00:05:32] I almost got 90% of the answer to my question,
[00:05:36] but I still want to ask this question because
[00:05:39] many times when we have a sore throat.
[00:05:44] The problem is due to our digestive
[00:05:47] diseases. Is this true? Yes.
[00:05:50] Exactly. Look, we have two or three topics
[00:05:53] regarding the throat, because many times
[00:05:56] when there is a dispute or an issue between
[00:06:00] doctors, the ear, nose, and throat doctor blames the chest
[00:06:03] doctor, and the chest doctor blames the ear, nose, and throat doctor.
[00:06:07] There is an issue between them because the pathway that comes up from the throat
[00:06:11] belongs to one doctor.
[00:07:03] People who live in society also have seasonal allergies. In the throat area, sometimes,
[00:07:06] look, in autumn,
[00:07:10] a patient with a sore throat, for example,
[00:09:51] you might get an allergic reaction or a bacterial or viral infection.
[00:09:55] Right, Dr. I noticed something, sometimes we
[00:09:58] feel that maybe we'll have a sore throat in the morning
[00:10:01] or we ate something and we know that we will definitely
[00:10:05] have a sore throat in the morning. Do we have any food,
[00:10:08] any solution, any way to prevent this when we know
[00:10:15] if you feel at night, because God has created
[00:10:19] some people in such a way that before
[00:10:22] a problem comes, from their body
[00:10:52] use milk and honey. Which is a very good
[00:10:56] treatment for inflammation in the body. And regarding
[00:10:59] the issue, if you feel weak, have a few dates,
[00:11:03] almonds, walnuts, one clove in your maker, and
[00:11:07] drink it. This itself strengthens the immune
[00:11:11] system immediately. It
[00:11:14] strengthens it. These things, unfortunately, have a drawback, they become a bit fatty.
[00:11:18] On the contrary, walnuts do not cause a sore
[00:11:22] throat. Right. Those who say walnuts,
[00:11:28] or the oils that are not necessary for the body,
[00:11:32] walnuts remove all of them from the blood. Right.
[00:11:36] What is our friend the ear and throat? What
[00:11:40] foods should we consume more often? What
[00:11:43] vitamins and what drinks
[00:11:47] should we have so that at least we are
[00:11:50] aware of this or have taken good care of our ears and throat?
[00:11:53] All.
[00:12:25] The friend or the best friend of the ear and throat,
[00:12:28] if we name a food,
[00:12:32] it is soup. Vegetable soup, of course, without chicken.
[00:12:35] It is the best option. Right, Doctor.
[00:12:39] How much do our teeth or our mouth
[00:12:42] affect our throat being healthy or our throat
[00:12:46] itself? What about the role of teeth in the
[00:12:50] throat or
[00:12:53] respiratory system?
[00:12:55] We sometimes complain about dentists
[00:12:58] who use one drill for two
[00:13:01] or three teeth of a patient, which is
[00:13:04] a challenge in itself, but many doctors
[00:13:08] absolutely do not notice, or
[00:13:12] their generation does not notice,
[00:13:15] that these teeth cause you to
[00:13:19] have a sore throat and inflammation of the
[00:13:23] mouth area. It also affects the digestive system
[00:13:27] and disrupts the digestive process.
[00:13:30] Right, Doctor. From one question
[00:13:33] another question arises. I noticed something,
[00:13:37] when we eat dinner especially if we eat meat, it gets stuck
[00:13:41] between our teeth. This causes problems for the teeth themselves.
[00:13:44] If we clean it with dental floss or whatever it is,
[00:13:48] without those things, it harms the throat.
[00:13:52] It causes inflammation inside the throat. Exactly, when you
[00:13:55] have food stuck in your teeth and it stays there for
[00:13:59] 6 or 7 hours,
[00:14:02] it turns into bacteria,
[00:14:05] it turns into chronic food or
[00:14:09] it gets poisoned. When you swallow your saliva,
[00:14:13] this itself causes a big problem for the
[00:14:16] throat system. The job of the tonsils is to
[00:14:20] clean all the pus. All the soldiers
[00:14:23] at the gate.
[00:14:55] there is inflammation or the throat system, the tonsils, are inflamed
[00:14:58] or the problem is fungal infections,
[00:15:02] and fungal infections are very easily eliminated, but they
[00:15:05] take a very long time. Many times
[00:15:08] when we see patients who have bad breath or
[00:15:12] dental problems or complain that they have digestive problems, but
[00:15:16] in reality, the problem is dental. The teeth are not brushing,
[00:15:19] and food residues remain in the mouth.
[00:15:23] And they wake up in the morning without brushing their teeth three or four times.
[00:15:27] They immediately
[00:15:30] drink tea or, for example, whatever breakfast
[00:15:34] they have, they consume it, and all the bacteria.
[00:17:37] you use turns into
[00:17:40] an action that performs
[00:17:43] an anti-inflammatory role in your body.
[00:17:47] Right. If you don't cook it properly,
[00:17:51] don't use it properly, it can be the worst food
[00:17:54] for you. In the same way, we also have it for musk.
[00:17:57] If you get fresh
[00:18:00] musk and cook it with eggs or
[00:18:03] cook it with another food, you use it and...
[00:18:49] is high. Right. And that
[00:18:52] you heated oil, after
[00:18:56] heating the oil, it turns back into a solid
[00:18:59] very quickly. If it doesn't turn into a solid,
[00:19:03] it's not oil, it's actually oil. Right.
[00:19:06] Right. Because we refer to
[00:19:09] edible things as oil. Yes, and
[00:19:12] we refer to things that are consumed as oil.
[00:19:16] If we come to categorizing oils
[00:19:19] and how many types
[00:19:23] of oils are currently standard and non-standard in Afghanistan,
[00:19:26] that's a separate discussion that
[00:19:28] concerns the Ministry of Public Health and
[00:19:32] Food. But the oils that you, for example, go
[00:19:36] and buy. Just once,
[00:19:39] very easily, heat it up a little bit for five minutes.
[00:19:43] If it turns into a solid, then from our perspective,
[00:19:46] it's the best oil. In hot weather, it's the same,
[00:19:49] in hot weather, it means it changes its state.
[00:19:53] Cold weather, of course, it's natural that normal oil
[00:19:56] that is natural
[00:19:59] turns all of them into a solid. It turns them into a solid.
[00:20:03] But if the oil is not good, it doesn't turn it back into a solid.
[00:20:06] It doesn't turn it into a solid. Real olive oil, for example,
[00:20:10] real mustard oil also turns into
[00:20:13] a solid because the colder the weather gets, they turn into a solid.
[00:20:16] But when the weather gets warm, it turns back itself, and this is something that
[00:20:20] is natural. We cannot do anything
[00:20:23] about it. Yes, thank you.
[00:20:26] Dr. Saheb, may you be well. Thank you. If I haven't asked any questions
[00:20:30] and it's on your mind, please, may you be well.
[00:20:33] The important thing is that it's winter. So
[00:20:37] make sure that especially people
[00:20:40] over 50 years old in Afghanistan, pneumonia
[00:20:44] is a very dangerous
[00:20:48] and serious issue.
[00:20:50] Infectious, bacterial, or viral infections that
[00:20:53] we have in Afghanistan, be very careful
[00:20:56] when they go to the mosque in the morning or to the
[00:21:00] mosque in the evening or sometimes go to Padro
[00:21:04] in the evening so that God forbid they don't get pneumonia,
[00:21:07] which would then create other problems for them.
[00:21:10] May you be well, Dr. Mahmoud
[00:21:13] Sahel, specialist in ear, nose, and throat diseases. Thank you for accepting
[00:21:17] our invitation. Thank you.
[00:21:20] Dear friends, we will also go for a break. The colleagues have
[00:21:23] prepared an informative package about pneumonia during the break.
[00:21:27] After that, we will be with Maulvi Saheb Shah Mohammad Omari.
[00:21:30] بودیم
[00:21:38] Pneumonia, or lung inflammation, is
[00:21:41] the inflammation of one or both lungs
[00:21:45] simultaneously, which leads to the infection and microbial
[00:21:48] contamination of the lungs.
[00:22:17] However, newborns, children, elderly, smokers, and individuals with immune system
[00:22:22] diseases or nutritional disorders
[00:22:25] are more susceptible to this disease. Due to
[00:22:29] antibiotic use, unfortunately, resistant
[00:22:32] strains of bacteria have emerged as causative agents of this disease.
[00:22:35] In the world, pneumonia is considered one of the
[00:22:39] leading causes of illness, disability, and death in children
[00:22:43] under five years of age. According to the World
[00:22:46] Health Organization, 1.2 million children
[00:22:50] die annually from pneumonia.
[00:22:53] Symptoms of pneumonia in adults: several
[00:22:57] days before the onset of pneumonia, symptoms of upper
[00:23:00] respiratory tract infection are observed, including
[00:23:04] runny nose and cough, and in adults, the usual
[00:23:08] signs and symptoms are fever, cough, phlegm, sweat,
[00:23:11] chills, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
[00:23:15] Clinical manifestations of viral and
[00:23:19] bacterial pneumonia often differ: rapid
[00:23:22] breathing, cough, weakness, and malaise, chest
[00:23:25] pain, and muscle stiffness. Viral pneumonia
[00:23:29] is more often accompanied by cough or wheezing,
[00:23:32] and fever is less common than in bacterial pneumonia.
[00:23:36] The lung X-ray in the
[00:23:39] viral form shows diffuse linear infiltrates
[00:23:43] due to bronchopneumonia, and the white blood
[00:23:47] cell count often does not change.
[00:23:50] Pneumonia complications, even with treatment, may
[00:23:54] occur in some individuals with pneumonia, especially those
[00:23:57] in high-risk groups. These complications
[00:24:01] may include the following: first,
[00:24:04] bacteria in the bloodstream. Bacteria
[00:24:08] that enter the bloodstream from the lungs
[00:24:12] can spread the infection to other
[00:24:15] organs of the body, which is potentially
[00:24:19] گونه بالقوه و
[00:24:23] If the pneumonia is severe or the person has chronic obstructive
[00:24:27] pulmonary disease, then the person may
[00:24:31] have difficulty breathing enough oxygen. Such
[00:24:34] a person may need to be hospitalized and use a
[00:24:38] ventilator until their lungs recover.
