Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common ENT disease with various clinical symptoms. The more common symptoms include sore throat, foreign body sensation, fever, and swallowing obstruction. Regarding diet, it is generally advised to eat fewer biscuits, as biscuits are quite dry and may exacerbate the condition of pharyngitis. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, focusing on a light, soft, or semi-liquid diet. Medication treatment should also be considered. If the inflammation is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics may be considered. If it is caused by a viral infection, antiviral medications should be considered. Nebulization therapy is also recommended, and typically, the treatment period is about one week. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

How long does it take for the follicles of acute pharyngitis to subside?

If it is just a simple case of acute pharyngitis causing lymph follicles, generally, the regression time is about one to two weeks. However, some patients may experience persistent lymph follicles after another outbreak of acute pharyngitis. Or, if there has been chronic pharyngitis before, the likelihood of proliferation of lymph follicles is relatively higher. Firstly, it is important to assess the specific degree and symptoms. If one does not feel significantly uncomfortable, regular laryngoscopic examinations are usually sufficient. If symptoms of pharyngitis are present, it is advisable to use oral medications and nebulization therapy. Overall, it does not pose a significant risk to health; it is just necessary to regularly monitor and observe any changes in the condition.

Can I eat chicken with acute pharyngitis?

Patients with acute pharyngitis can eat chicken, as it is a common type of meat and does not have direct side effects on the condition of acute pharyngitis, nor does it affect the treatment outcome. It also does not directly interfere with the medications used for treating acute pharyngitis. However, merely controlling diet does not significantly affect the treatment of acute pharyngitis; it requires combination with oral medications. Currently, antibiotics are commonly used, and can be combined with nebulizer therapy. During the treatment process, it is necessary to regularly review and observe the treatment effects. Most patients will gradually improve with timely treatment. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can you smoke with acute pharyngitis?

Acute pharyngitis is an acute inflammatory disease of the pharyngeal mucosa, submucosal tissue, and local lymphatic tissue. Initially, it is a viral infection or a mixed infection of viruses and bacteria; in later stages, when secondary infections occur, it may entirely turn into a bacterial infection. During acute pharyngitis, there is pain in the pharyngeal region, and the pharyngeal mucosa becomes congested and swollen. We must advise patients not to smoke as it further irritates and exacerbates the congestion and swelling of the pharyngeal mucosa, worsening the condition of acute pharyngitis. Smoking can even cause the infection in the pharynx to spread to the lower airways, leading to tracheitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia; therefore, smoking should be avoided during acute pharyngitis.

What should I do if acute pharyngitis makes me feel like vomiting?

Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease with various clinical symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, which are common clinical manifestations. It can also cause sore throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, difficulty swallowing, or even breathing difficulties. Typically, acute pharyngitis is mainly caused by acute bacterial infection and inflammation. Examinations such as laryngoscopy and routine blood tests can be performed. The main purpose of these tests is to determine the specific extent and type of the inflammatory response. In terms of treatment, most patients may need to consider using antibiotics and anti-infection treatments. Additionally, treatments can be supplemented with nebulization and oral traditional Chinese medicine. After medication, regular follow-ups are necessary to observe the effects. (The use of medication should be under the guidance of a doctor.)
