Drinking Belamcanda chinensis (Shè Gān) tea is highly beneficial after recovering from chronic pharyngitis. It primarily functions to clear heat, detoxify, and relieve pain. Some patients may occasionally experience nausea; however, this symptom typically resolves upon discontinuation of the herb. During treatment, patients should avoid spicy, pungent, or foul-smelling foods. If a patient with acute pharyngitis fails to experience symptom relief, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is essential.
