Hua Su tablets are effective for pharyngitis, with effects of fever reduction, detoxification, anti-inflammation, and pain relief. They are currently mainly used to treat ulcers in the oral cavity and throat, and also have some efficacy for pharyngitis, helping to alleviate sore throat and foreign body sensation caused by pharyngitis. However, their overall therapeutic effect is not significant. If pharyngitis symptoms are prominent, comprehensive treatment combining other medications is required.
