Can patients with pharyngitis take dexamethasone tablets?

Pharyngitis patients may take dexamethasone tablets, but it is preferable to start with anti-inflammatory medications rather than immediately using corticosteroids. In particular, for patients with acute pharyngitis, adjunctive corticosteroid therapy during treatment can effectively alleviate symptoms and enhance therapeutic efficacy; however, long-term or high-dose use is not recommended. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in daily life.
