Dr. Xu Gang
Tonsillectomy is ineffective for patients with chronic pharyngitis. Patients should avoid exposure to dust and irritating gases, use mouthwash regularly, and take tablets containing various traditional Chinese medicine ingredients for treatment. In daily life, patients should avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods, perform proper self-care, maintain a light and hygienic diet, adhere to appropriate medication regimens, and avoid staying up late.
