Indiscriminate kissing, nail and biro chewing, are some of the causes of sore throat, according to a medical doctor.

Enema Amodu, an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) consultant at the Garki Hospital, Abuja, said that people should be more hygiene-conscious.

“Adults especially should desist from chewing their nails, putting biros in their mouths, kissing indiscriminately, and watch what they eat,” he said.

Dr. Enema described sore throat as anything that causes impediment in the normal function of the throat’s areas, which present some difficulties in swallowing.

He also likened indiscriminate kissing to having multiple sex partners, saying “when a person kisses all that comes to his or her way, the person is bound to get an infection, which could cause sore throat.”

He said children were often susceptible to sore throat because of the injurious materials they put in the mouths, which could be hot food or anything that causes pain in their throat.

“If you put injurious materials in the mouth, the tonsils that fight infections in the throat will get inflamed or traumatised, and this will definitely lead to soreness of the throat,” he said.

The doctor advised the young and the old to be conscious of changes in their body, as sore throat could be accompanied by headache and fever, especially high fever.

He added that any sore throat taking longer to heal should be referred to a health care professional.

DISCRIMINATE KISSES do cause sore throat too.

I am surprise to hear this. Do people here in nigeria really have indiscriminate mouth to mouth kiss? Is it on the road or where? I believe nigerians have more of indiscriminate sex than kiss, as most nigerian women don't even like kissing. That must be a foreign research.

Guys since indiscriminate kissing causes sore throat, its now better to do it selectively, purposely & discriminately. May be we should also start using mouth condom to enable us kiss freely.

good evening sir. I read one of your very old post where you said you you used to work in a cement facility... I was wondering if you could help me secure a job there.
