Chronic pharyngitis can be relieved by drinking water infused with chrysanthemum, kuding tea, and pear. Patients with pharyngitis may experience symptoms such as a foreign body sensation in the throat and dryness; they can drink infusions made from chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, and kuding tea. These herbs have effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting saliva production, and relieving thirst. In addition, pharyngitis patients should drink plenty of water. They may also benefit from boiled water prepared with pear and rock sugar, which is helpful for chronic pharyngitis.
