  不管有没有生病,你的身体都需要保持水分。但如果你呕吐、腹泻或出汗很多,那就很容易脱水。而这只会让你更加难受--你的身体也更难抵抗疾病病菌。但有没有什么饮品能让你喝下去舒服一点呢?

  Whenitcomestostayinghydratedwhilesick, waterisyourbestoption- andshouldbeyourfirstchoice. It'sboring, Iknow, butwaterwillkeepyoursorethroatandairwaysmoist, theMayoClinicexplains. Thatwillreducethepaininyourthroatandmakeiteasiertocoughupanymucusorblowoutanysnot.

  如果你生病了,那喝水则是保持水分的最佳选择--也应是你的首选。我知道,水没有味道,但却能够让你酸痛的喉咙和通气道保持湿润,梅奥诊所的工作人员解释道。这能缓解喉咙疼痛,因此咳出粘液或擤鼻涕也会变得更加容易。

  

  But, dependingonyoursymptoms, otherdrinksmayalsohelpyoufeelabitbetter. Forinstance, hotwaterorteawithlemonandhoneycanhelpsootheasorethroatandcough. Asouporbrothwillalsodothetrick. Foraseriousthroatinfection(e.g. strep), youmightwanttodoasaltwatergargle, too, whichhelpseaseinflamedthroattissue.

  但基于你的症状,其它饮品也能让你没那么难受。比如,柠檬蜂蜜热水或热茶能缓解喉咙疼痛和咳嗽。汤或肉汤也能起到同样的作用。如果你的喉咙严重感染(如链球菌),那你最好用盐水漱口,这能缓解发炎的咽喉组织。

  如果你是肚子痛,那一定要确保喝易消化的饮品,如果可能的话,放些盐。你的身体需要电解质(包括盐)才能吸收水分。通常这都不是问题,因为你可以从食物中获得盐分。但如果是拉肚子,那你吃的可能就没那么多了。所以摄入这些不含导致腹泻糖分的电解质是个不错的办法。因此我们推荐的不是运动饮料,而是椰子汁或撒盐饼干(当然,要和纯净水一起吃)。

  However, youshouldtrytostayawayfromcaffeine, sodas(includinggingerale), andalcoholasmuchaspossible. Allofthosecanirritateyouralreadyannoyeddigestivesystem.

  但是,你应该尽可能地不要喝含咖啡因的饮品、苏打饮料(包括姜汁啤酒)和酒。上述这些饮品都会刺激你本已紊乱的消化系统。此外,不要听信网上的流言蜚语,因为吃/喝乳制品真的不会增加身体粘液的分泌量。但可能会让你的粘液更浓稠,因此感冒的时候最好还是不要喝牛奶了。除此之外,一定要坚持喝水--遵循医嘱--那你肯定会慢慢变好。
