Dr. Xu Gang
Chronic pharyngitis may be caused by relatively low body resistance and insufficient rest. In addition, during the transition between winter and spring, temperatures are very low and fluctuate greatly, making individuals more susceptible to throat disorders. In dry climates, the throat is easily invaded by viruses and harmful gases, leading to inflammation. Patients should avoid consuming excessive spicy and irritating foods in daily life.
