Pipa膏 with Fritillaria is generally not very effective for pharyngitis-related cough; this medication is primarily used for resolving phlegm and relieving cough. If pharyngitis occurs, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs may be taken to help improve the condition. Patients can use penicillin-class anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. Pharyngitis is caused by inflammatory infection and requires oral antibiotics for inflammation control. It is recommended that patients use medications under the guidance of a doctor.
