The process of improvement of pharyngitis symptoms

Speaking of pharyngitis, I believe everyone must be familiar with it. You know, in real life, many people have troubles in this aspect. Pharyngitis is not a serious disease, but it still brings a lot of inconvenience to patients and makes them very painful. They will feel sore throat, dryness, itching, and have phlegm and other uncomfortable symptoms. So how to treat this throat disease and how can it get better? Let's learn about the relevant content below.

1. General treatment of pharyngitis: Patients with pharyngitis should rest in bed, drink plenty of water, eat soft food, abstain from smoking and drinking, avoid spicy and overly greasy food, and keep bowel movements open. The above methods are very important for the early recovery of acute pharyngitis, but they are often ignored by patients and parents, resulting in prolonged illness or complications of other diseases. If sore throat affects the patient's ability to eat, intravenous fluids and nutritional supplements should be given. For those with severe sore throat or high body temperature, APC can be taken orally, 0.5 grams each time, or intramuscular injection of Antongding, Chaihu injection, etc.

2. Local treatment of pharyngitis: take lysozyme tablets, domiphene lozenges, iodine lozenges, Liushen pills, etc.; gargle with compound borax solution, chlorhexidine mouthwash, and warm salt water; in the early stage of pharyngitis, 1% iodine glycerin or 2% silver nitrate solution can be applied to the pharyngeal wall to help the inflammation subside; nebulization or fumigation treatment, inhalation of medicinal gas, is effective for local inflammation, and pharyngitis patients also feel comfortable.

3. Anti-infection treatment of pharyngitis: For patients with pharyngitis caused by viral infection, antiviral drugs such as morphine, amantadine, interferon, etc. can be used; for those with bacterial infection, antibiotics and sulfonamides can be taken orally or injected. Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on both viral and bacterial infections.

4. Pharyngitis needs to be treated with care, and only by care can pharyngitis be cured. Go to bed early and get up early, don't stay up late, eat light food, mainly boiled and steamed, basically give up frying and stir-frying, don't eat ginger and garlic, rarely use soy sauce and fermented black beans, and have vegetables in almost every meal of the three meals a day. Eat a lot of fruits every day (mainly apples and pears, rarely eat citrus fruits as people say they will cause internal heat), also eat a lot of kelp soup and mung bean juice, try to eat soft food as much as possible, and drink plenty of water every day. At night, put the water cup where you can easily reach it, and drink a sip or two of water as soon as you wake up (try to drink warm water in a thermos). Also, pay attention to oral hygiene. Be sure to rinse your mouth after meals. After eating, try to hold some water in your mouth and spit it out to avoid leaving residue in your mouth.
