Persistent cough or hoarseness
A slight throat clearing upon waking is normal. But if it persists for weeks, especially if accompanied by difficulty breathing or bloody phlegm, it’s time to talk. Chronic airway irritation may signal an underlying inflammatory process or increased sensitivity to the environment.
The right thing to do: Avoid sources of irritation (smoke, dry air, allergens) and consult a doctor if the cough becomes persistent.
Stomach pains since morning
Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or blood in the stool first thing in the morning? These symptoms are never trivial. They can indicate a digestive problem that shouldn’t be ignored, especially if they recur.
The right approach: adopt a balanced diet, hydrate your body well and, if the problems persist, do not hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist.
Sore throat or difficulty swallowing
Do you have difficulty swallowing your breakfast or do you have a sore throat in the morning? This sensation may be due to local inflammation or, more rarely, a digestive or ENT disorder.
The right approach: Monitor the frequency of these episodes and stick to soft foods until you get medical help.
