How to quickly reduce throat swelling

To quickly reduce throat swelling, you can use lozenges or oral medications, or you can choose nebulizer inhalation treatment.

1. Lozenge treatment: If it is mild throat edema, it may be caused by getting angry. Generally, you can use Jinshengzi lozenges or Xiguashuang lozenges to improve the local pain in the throat, which can clear the throat and have a cooling effect.

2. Oral medication: If the condition is serious and has not been relieved for a long time, you can drink honeysuckle tea or chrysanthemum tea to relieve it. You can also use Lanqin oral liquid or Qingyan Lihou granules to treat it to improve the congestion or edema of the throat mucosa. The symptoms will disappear after about a week of medication.

3. Nebulizer inhalation: Throat edema may also be caused by bacterial infection of the throat due to chronic pharyngitis, resulting in breathing difficulties or obstruction. You need to go to the hospital for a laryngoscopy. You can choose nebulizer inhalation, which can use chymotrypsin plus gentamicin to allow the drug to reach the throat directly.

After throat edema occurs, you should pay attention to drinking more warm water. Avoid eating hot pot or spicy hot pot, as these may easily worsen the condition and cause significant irritation to the mucous membrane of the throat, aggravating the pain or prolonging the recovery time. Go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
