Pharyngitis patients can eat white fungus (white wood ear). Wood ear contains protein, fat, various amino acids, minerals, and glycogen. White fungus is rich in multiple minerals; every 100 grams of white fungus contains 643 milligrams of calcium and 30.4 milligrams of iron. Patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more plain water, and consume more nutritious foods.
