Introduction
Sore throat that did not improve after taking Blue Qin Oral Liquid three times may be caused by insufficient water intake, excessive voice use, acute tonsillitis, acute pharyngitis, herpangina, etc. It can be improved by increasing fluid intake, reducing voice use, and medication. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by fever or difficulty swallowing, prompt medical attention is necessary. Insufficient daily water intake leads to persistent dryness of the pharyngeal mucosa, making inflammation difficult to resolve.
Sore throat that does not improve after taking Blue Qin Oral Solution three times may be caused by insufficient water intake, excessive voice use, acute tonsillitis, acute pharyngitis, or herpangina. Symptoms can be improved through hydration, reducing voice use, and medication. If pain worsens or is accompanied by fever or difficulty swallowing, prompt medical attention is necessary.
1. Insufficient hydration: Low daily fluid intake leads to persistently dry throat mucosa, making it difficult for inflammation to subside and sore throat symptoms to improve. This is often accompanied by a dry, scratchy throat and a sensation of a foreign body. It is recommended to increase daily water intake, drink more warm water, and avoid spicy or hot beverages that may irritate the throat.
2. Excessive voice use: Frequent talking or loud shouting causes fatigue in the throat muscles and worsens mucosal congestion, reducing the effectiveness of medication and leading to persistent pain. It is advised to reduce voice use, avoid speaking loudly, allow the throat adequate rest, and rinse with warm salt water if necessary.
3. Acute tonsillitis: Bacterial or viral infections cause inflammation of the tonsils, resulting in redness, swelling, and pus formation. Blue Qin Oral Solution alone may not effectively control the condition, which is often accompanied by severe sore throat that worsens during swallowing. Patients may take medications such as amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium granules, Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid, or ibuprofen suspension under a doctor's guidance to relieve symptoms.
4. Acute pharyngitis: Acute inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa due to infection leads to mucosal congestion and edema. Blue Qin Oral Solution may not sufficiently target this condition, which is typically accompanied by sore throat and hoarseness. Under medical guidance, medications such as cefaclor dry suspension, Xiao'er Chiqiao Qingre Granules, or KAIHOUJIAN spray may be used to alleviate discomfort.
5. Herpangina: Caused by enterovirus infection, this condition results in blisters in the pharynx that rupture and form ulcers. Blue Qin Oral Solution cannot effectively relieve ulcer-related pain, and symptoms often include fever and refusal to eat. Patients may follow medical advice to use ribavirin granules, Kangfuxin Liquid, or acetaminophen suspension drops to improve symptoms.
To promote recovery, keep the throat moist by drinking plenty of warm water. Maintain a light, easily digestible liquid diet, avoid spicy and fried foods, ensure sufficient rest, and minimize exposure to dust and smoke that may irritate the throat.
