Treatment of acute pharyngitis

The treatment of acute pharyngitis cannot be ignored. The general treatment method is to pay attention to getting more rest, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding tobacco, alcohol, spicy and greasy foods. At the same time, for patients with fever, pay attention to the correct use of antibiotics or some antiviral drugs.

1. General treatment : 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 smooth. 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. Those with fever should use antibiotics, sulfonamides and antiviral drugs (such as morphine, amantadine, viroline, etc.).

3. For local treatment, you can gargle with 1 : 5000 furacilin solution or compound borax solution, chew with dulefen, chlorhexidine, mint tablets or iodine tablets, or inhale antibiotics and hormones by nebulization.

4. For local treatment, take lysozyme tablets, Dumifen throat tablets, iodine lozenges, Liushen pills, etc.; gargle with compound borax solution, chlorhexidine mouthwash, or warm and light salt water; in the early stage of the disease, apply 1% iodine glycerin or 2% silver nitrate solution to the pharyngeal wall to help subside inflammation; nebulization or fumigation treatment, inhalation of medicinal gas, is effective for local inflammation and the patient also feels comfortable.

5. Anti-infection treatment : For those with 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.

6. For treatment with traditional Chinese medicine , if the patient has severe aversion to cold, mild fever, no sweating and floating pulse, Ma Huang Tang can be taken orally. If the fever is severe and the aversion to cold is mild, Yinqiao Powder can be taken internally. Niuhuang Jiedu Pills, Jiedu Xiaoyan Pills, and Liushen Pills can also be taken internally. For local treatment, you can use Bingpengsan or Xileisan powder and blow it into the throat. Acupuncture at the cheek-cartilage, hegu, shaoshang points or mandibular angle blockade can relieve inflammation and has an especially good analgesic effect.
