Complete list of pharyngitis medicines

People should be familiar with the disease of pharyngitis, which is a disease that is relatively common in the human body. For example, if people do not pay good attention to the care of the throat, have bad eating habits, or are infected by viruses, etc., these can cause pharyngitis. When it comes to pharyngitis, people naturally want to get it treated as soon as possible. Treatment with some medications is the most common. Here is a detailed introduction to the complete list of medicines for treating pharyngitis.

Drugs that have the main effect of clearing away heat and relieving internal heat and are often used to treat internal heat syndrome are called heat-clearing drugs.

Heat-clearing drugs are mainly used to treat high fever and thirst in febrile diseases, excess heat syndromes in the lungs, stomach, heart, liver and other internal organs, damp-heat diarrhea, damp-heat jaundice, rashes caused by warm toxins, carbuncles, swellings and toxins, and internal heat syndromes such as yin deficiency and fever.

When using heat-clearing drugs, one should distinguish between the deficiency and excess of heat syndrome.

Most of these medicines have cold properties and can easily damage the spleen and stomach, so they should be used with caution by those with weak spleen and stomach, poor appetite and loose stools. Bitter and cold medicines can easily cause dryness and damage Yin, so they should be used with caution by those who suffer from Yin damage due to febrile illness or those who have Yin deficiency and fluid deficiency. Heat-clearing drugs are contraindicated in cases of excess yin suppressing yang or true cold and false heat.

According to the differences in the medicinal properties, efficacy and main indications of heat-clearing drugs, heat-clearing drugs can be divided into five categories: heat-clearing and fire-purging drugs, heat-clearing and dampness-drying drugs, heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs, heat-clearing and cooling blood drugs, and deficiency-heat clearing drugs.

Heat-clearing and fire-purging medicine

This type of medicine is mostly bitter and cold or sweet and cold in nature, and its main function is to clear away evil heat in the Qi. It is mainly used to treat Qi-excess heat syndrome caused by febrile diseases with evil entering the Qi, high fever, thirst, sweating, irritability, and even coma, delirium, and a strong and rapid pulse. Some heat-clearing and fire-purging medicines can clear the heat in the internal organs, so they can also be used to treat heat in the internal organs such as lung heat, stomach heat, heart fire, and liver fire.

When using heat-clearing and fire-purging drugs, if the internal heat is intense and the vital energy is already weak, it is advisable to choose tonic drugs to strengthen the body and eliminate the evil.
