For acute pharyngitis, it is advisable to visit the otolaryngology department, as acute pharyngitis is primarily caused by an acute bacterial infection, mainly leading to throat pain. In severe cases, it can cause edema of the pharyngeal mucosa, affecting swallowing or breathing, and is one of the more common throat diseases. Regarding treatment, an indirect laryngoscopy should first be performed to assess the degree of inflammation in the pharyngeal mucosa, especially to determine if there are any obstructions in the throat. Additionally, routine blood tests and inflammatory protein tests should be conducted to help determine the type and extent of the inflammatory response. In terms of medication, treatment is generally dominated by antibiotics, preferably administered orally, and supplemented by nebulization and traditional Chinese medicine. Typically, the treatment period is about one week, but there are individual differences, so it is necessary to return to the otolaryngology department for follow-up to dynamically observe the recovery. (Medications should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
