Can chronic pharyngitis heal on its own?
Disease description:
During a meal, I heard my father-in-law coughing severely, his face turning red and his neck straining from coughing. I accompanied him to the hospital for a checkup, and he was diagnosed with chronic pharyngitis. Can chronic pharyngitis heal on its own?

Dr. Xu Gang
Chronic pharyngitis can sometimes resolve on its own. If the patient's condition is not severe and there is only mild throat pain, symptoms may be relieved through proper diet. However, if there is a bacterial infection in the throat or more serious symptoms, the condition generally will not heal spontaneously. It is recommended that once the disease occurs, patients should follow a doctor's instructions for treatment.
