There are many clinical symptoms, with the most common being sore throat and a foreign body sensation in the throat. If the inflammatory response is severe, it may also cause fever, swallowing obstruction, and breathing difficulties. In terms of treatment, it is mainly based on antibiotics to fight the infection. Oral traditional Chinese medicine can also be considered in combination with nebulization therapy. The treatment period is generally about a week.

Does acute pharyngitis require rest?

Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) disease, primarily caused by acute bacterial infection. After the onset, it is crucial to ensure rest as overexertion can exacerbate the severity of acute pharyngitis and may also affect the treatment outcome. In terms of pharmacotherapy, oral medications are commonly used, and can be combined with nebulizer therapy. During the treatment process, regular follow-ups and observation of the treatment effects are necessary. However, a small portion of patients with severe conditions may not respond well to oral medications, necessitating consideration of infusion therapy. The treatment period is generally around one week.
