Can mei tea treat chronic pharyngitis?

Meicha (berry tea) can generally treat chronic pharyngitis.

Chronic pharyngitis, in clinical terms, refers to chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes and underlying lymphoid tissues in the throat. Symptoms mainly include discomfort such as a burning sensation, dryness, foreign body sensation, itching, and dry cough in the throat area. The primary effects of meicha include pain relief and swelling reduction, clearing heat and detoxifying, lowering blood lipids and blood pressure, moistening the throat, relieving cough, as well as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions. It also helps enhance the body's immunity. Clinically, it can be used to treat abnormal conditions such as bronchitis, chronic pharyngitis, and respiratory tract infections. Therefore, meicha is generally effective for treating chronic pharyngitis. Patients may consider using meicha under medical guidance to help alleviate symptoms.

After developing chronic pharyngitis, patients should also pay attention to their daily diet. They should maintain a light and easily digestible diet, avoiding spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods to prevent irritation to the throat, which could worsen symptoms and hinder recovery.
