How to treat throat inflammation

How to treat throat inflammation? Inflammation of the throat is generally pharyngitis. Although pharyngitis does not cause particularly obvious discomfort symptoms, if it is not treated, it can easily cause the inflammation to spread to the lungs. If this happens, it will lead to pneumonia. Therefore, it is recommended that all pharyngitis patients must pay attention to timely treatment. However, because pharyngitis is divided into different types, many friends are confused about its treatment and do not know how to treat it well. The specific treatment methods are as follows:

Treatment of acute pharyngitis

(1) Patients with severe infection and obvious systemic symptoms should rest in bed, drink plenty of water and eat liquid food, and choose antiviral drugs, antibiotics or sulfonamides. Traditional Chinese medicine preparations with antiviral and antibacterial effects can also be used.

(2) For patients with mild or no systemic symptoms, local treatment can be used.

Treatment of chronic pharyngitis

(1) Eliminating the cause of the disease, quitting smoking and drinking, improving the working and living environment (avoiding dust and harmful gases), actively treating chronic inflammation of the nose and nasopharynx, correcting constipation and indigestion, and treating systemic diseases to enhance resistance are very important for the prevention and treatment of this disease.

(2) Traditional Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that chronic pharyngitis is caused by Yin deficiency and excessive fire, which causes the throat to be malnourished. The treatment should be to nourish yin and reduce fire, with Zengye Decoction added or subtracted. You can also use appropriate amounts of double flower and Ophiopogon japonicus, add two pieces of Sterculia lychnophora, and use boiling water to brew it instead of tea.

(3) Local therapy ① Chronic simple pharyngitis: commonly used compound borax solution, furazolidone solution, 2% boric acid solution for gargling, or oral lozenges, such as iodine lozenges, mint lozenges, silver and yellow lozenges, and taking Liushen Pills and Jinsang Qingyin Pills. ② Chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis: In addition to the above methods, the lymph follicles on the posterior pharyngeal wall also need to be treated. Chemical drugs such as 10% silver nitrate solution can be used to cauterize the hypertrophic lymph follicles, or freezing or laser treatment can be used. However, the treatment area should not be too large or too deep to prevent dryness of the throat and atrophy of the pharyngeal mucosa in the future.

To sum up, I believe you already know how to treat throat inflammation. I hope patients can pay attention when treating pharyngitis. First of all, you must pay attention to coordinating the diet with the treatment. Do not eat some irritating foods, such as beef, seafood, etc. These are all irritating foods. If you eat them during the treatment, it will have a certain impact on the entire treatment. Therefore, if patients want to recover soon, they must pay attention to these things.
