Question

How should pharyngitis be treated?

Answer

For pediatric chronic pharyngitis, it is recommended to use compound borax solution and furazolidone solution for gargling to maintain cleanliness in the mouth and throat. Iodine throat lozenges or menthol throat lozenges can be taken to alleviate throat discomfort. Traditional Chinese medicine preparations may also be effective for chronic pharyngitis. Topical application of compound iodine glycerin, 5% silver nitrate solution, or 10% weak protein silver solution to the throat can have astringent and anti-inflammatory effects. Avoid giving children irritating food.
