This solution exhibits potent antibacterial activity and can also be administered to patients with pharyngitis, primarily to eradicate bacteria in the pharynx, reduce inflammation, and alleviate symptoms such as pharyngeal swelling and pain. It possesses anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and astringent properties. For chronic pharyngitis, definitive treatment requires first ensuring accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy, followed by local anti-inflammatory treatment.
