Patients with acute pharyngitis can eat bayberries. Acute pharyngitis is caused by acute bacterial infection and inflammation. In terms of diet, it is generally safe to eat conventional fruits, but do not consume spicy and irritating food or food that easily causes allergies. Most patients will gradually improve through dietary adjustments and medication. However, during the treatment process, regular check-ups are necessary. Blood routine tests and indirect laryngoscopy can help assess the severity of the condition and the effectiveness of the medication. Overall, most patients need to consider using antibiotics and can also combine this with nebulizer treatment. With timely treatment, the condition will gradually improve.

Can acute pharyngitis be cured?

Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease with various clinical symptoms. The most common symptoms are sore throat, a sensation of a foreign body in the throat, and there may also be fever and dysphagia. In terms of treatment, it is first necessary to perform routine blood tests and laryngoscopy to determine the extent and type of inflammation. Generally, the treatment outcome for acute pharyngitis is quite favorable. If it is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics can be considered. If it is caused by viral infection, antiviral medications should be considered. Nebulization can also be used as an adjunct treatment. Most patients can recover within about a week of treatment. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Is nebulization useful for acute pharyngitis?

Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common otolaryngologic disease, mainly caused by acute viral or bacterial infections that lead to inflammation. Nebulization could be considered as it is a commonly used treatment method, which helps alleviate throat pain and reduce congestion and edema of the pharyngeal mucosa, and also aids in recovery from the illness. However, oral medication is usually necessary in conjunction with nebulization. If it's a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be considered, and if it's a viral infection, antiviral medications should be used. Some patients might also combine oral traditional Chinese medicine for comprehensive treatment. The general treatment period is about a week, and regular follow-up is needed to monitor recovery. (Specific medication use should be conducted 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.)

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.)

What should you avoid eating if you have acute pharyngitis?

In the diet for acute pharyngitis, patients need to eat as little as possible or avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, fish, shrimp, crab, seafood, barbecue, and alcohol. They should also avoid acidic fruits, such as tangerines, grapefruits, and oranges, as these foods can cause sudden congestion and swelling of the mucous membrane in the throat. This can lead to increased throat pain, as well as sensations of a foreign body, obstruction, and burning in the throat. Acute pharyngitis occurs when a virus or bacteria invades due to lowered immunity and resistance in the body, causing symptoms in the throat. Patients may experience fever, swelling, pain in the throat, and a foreign body sensation, primarily characterized by painful swallowing. Treatment initially requires symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment, combined with nebulized inhalation, which has good therapeutic effects. A light diet and abstaining from smoking and alcohol will gradually lead to improvement.
