Dr. Xu Gang
Chronic pharyngitis patients should not take Chuanbei Pipa Syrup, as it will neither worsen the condition nor provide any therapeutic effect. Chronic pharyngitis is commonly managed with mouthwashes such as compound borax and penicillin solutions to maintain cleanliness of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Treatment may include iodine lozenges or menthol throat tablets for symptomatic relief. Additionally, appropriate physical exercise and maintaining a positive psychological state can enhance overall immune function, thereby improving the local functional status of the pharyngeal mucosa.
