The treatment of acute pharyngitis mainly involves medication. First, the degree of the inflammatory response should be assessed. It is recommended to visit an otolaryngology specialist and perform an indirect laryngoscopy, as well as routine blood tests and inflammatory response protein tests, as these examinations can preliminarily determine the extent of inflammation. In terms of treatment, acute pharyngitis is generally caused by bacterial infection; oral antibiotics are usually the first choice for anti-infection treatment. Additionally, nebulization and traditional Chinese medicine can be considered for supplementary treatment. It is also necessary to follow a light diet, and avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. With medication treatment, a re-evaluation is typically done after about three days to observe the recovery situation. The overall treatment period is approximately one week, but if the inflammatory response is particularly severe, it may be necessary to extend the treatment duration. (Note: Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
