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.)

Which department should I go to for acute pharyngitis?

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.)

Can I eat biscuits with acute pharyngitis?

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.)

Acute pharyngitis clinical manifestations

Acute pharyngitis is caused by the invasion of viruses or bacteria after a decline in the body's immunity and resistance, leading to acute mucosal lesions in the pharyngeal area. Patients will experience sudden high fever with a body temperature above 38 degrees Celsius, severe pain in the throat, primarily pain during swallowing, and symptoms including dryness, itching, foreign body sensation, obstruction, burning sensation, and irritative cough in the throat. Patients may also exhibit symptoms of coughing phlegm and blood-streaked sputum. Examination with an electronic laryngoscope reveals congested and edematous mucosa in the throat, particularly noticeable on the soft palate and uvula, with yellow purulent secretions found on the posterior pharyngeal wall and base of the tongue. Treatment involves symptomatic anti-inflammatory therapy, where patients may take cephalosporin antibiotics orally or through infusion, which yields good results. Additionally, nebulized inhalation is used to alleviate local congestion and edema, with gradual recovery expected in about seven to ten days. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

How many days does acute pharyngitis take to get better?

Acute pharyngitis generally begins to improve after about a week. Acute pharyngitis is a condition of the throat caused by viral or bacterial infection due to lowered immunity and resistance. Patients may experience sudden high fever with temperature above 38.5°C, severe throat pain predominately during swallowing. Additionally, symptoms such as dry throat, itchy throat, and a sensation of a foreign body in the throat may occur. Upon examination, swollen and congested soft palate and uvula can be observed, with dot-like pus plugs found on the surface and yellow secretions on the posterior pharyngeal wall. In terms of treatment, patients first need to undergo routine blood tests. If there is an increase in white blood cells, symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment with oral antibiotics is required. If lymphocytes are elevated, symptomatic antiviral treatment is needed, along with nebulization inhalation and a light diet. The condition generally begins to improve gradually after a week. (Note: The use of medication should be carried out under the guidance of a professional physician.)
