Pharyngitis is a relatively common ENT disease. Generally, patients with pharyngitis can eat mangoes, but they should not consume them if they have a mango allergy. Overall, mangoes do not have direct irritants, do not adversely affect the condition of pharyngitis, and do not impact the treatment's effectiveness. Most patients can normally consume fruits.

Pharyngitis is a relatively common otolaryngology disease, with many types. The most common types include acute pharyngitis, chronic pharyngitis, and allergic pharyngitis. Different types of inflammatory responses require different treatment plans. For acute pharyngitis, it is generally necessary to consider using antibiotics for anti-infection treatment; for chronic pharyngitis, oral traditional Chinese medicine combined with nebulization can be considered; for allergic pharyngitis, anti-allergic medication should be considered.

Can pharyngitis be cured?

Pharyngitis can be divided into acute and chronic types, with acute pharyngitis being curable. Acute pharyngitis occurs due to a weakened immune system followed by acute inflammatory infection, such as infections by Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, or Coxsackie virus, leading to both systemic and local symptoms. Patients may experience sudden high fever, swelling and pain in the throat, and also present with coughing and phlegm among other clinical signs. For treatment, patients firstly need to have a routine blood test. If there is an increase in white blood cells, this indicates a bacterial infection, and patients will need oral antibiotic treatment, for which cephalosporin antibiotics are effective. However, if lymphocytes are elevated, this indicates a viral infection, which does not require any medication. Drinking plenty of water, resting, and maintaining a light diet will generally lead to recovery in about a week. (Please take any medications under the guidance of a professional physician.)

Symptoms of pharyngitis

Pharyngitis is a relatively common throat disease, which has various clinical symptoms and individual differences. Common symptoms include repeated sore throat, a sensation of a foreign body in the throat, and possibly acid reflux and burping. Overall, the symptoms are diverse and vary from person to person. In terms of treatment, it usually begins with a laryngoscopy to visually assess the extent of inflammation in the throat. Blood tests are also recommended to determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral. Once the type of infection is confirmed, targeted anti-infection treatment can be considered. This can be supplemented with nebulization and the oral administration of proprietary Chinese medicines, which help in treatment. However, regular follow-up examinations are necessary after treatment, as some patients may experience recurrent and fluctuating symptoms. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

How to maintain throat health in daily life?

Pharyngitis primarily refers to the acute or chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane in our throat. For the care of pharyngitis, we should pay attention to the following points: First, we need to be mindful of our diet, which should be light, nutritious, and easy to digest. We must avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as cigarettes, alcohol, and chili peppers. Second, we should engage in appropriate physical exercise to strengthen our constitution and avoid frequent upper respiratory infections. These conditions can prevent our pharyngitis from being effectively treated, or even cured. Thirdly, we should be cautious with certain special foods. For example, if our pharyngitis is caused by allergies, then we should minimize or avoid foods that can trigger allergies, such as fish, shrimp, and seafood. In conclusion, it is crucial to actively treat pharyngitis while also looking after oneself.

How many days will it take for the fever from pharyngitis to subside?

Fever caused by pharyngitis is generally due to reduced immunity and resistance, resulting from viral or bacterial infection. Typically, this causes the patient to experience sudden high fever, with body temperatures above 38°C, and the fever may last for three to five days. Symptoms also include swelling and pain in the throat, muscle fatigue, muscle soreness, dryness, itching, and a foreign body sensation in the throat. Common pathogens include Streptococcus pyogenes or Coxsackie virus. Examination may reveal obvious congestive edema of the pharyngeal mucosa, and yellow purulent secretions on the posterior pharyngeal wall. Treatment primarily involves symptomatic anti-inflammatory therapy, with good results from oral cephalosporin antibiotics. Additionally, treatment may include nebulized corticosteroids, with gradual improvement typically occurring over about a week.
