Dr. Xu Gang
Oryzanol is generally not effective for treating chronic pharyngitis. Chronic pharyngitis may be caused by respiratory tract infections or viral infections and should be managed promptly. Oryzanol nourishes the nerves and may promote mucosal recovery. Patients are advised to eat more green vegetables, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and maintain a calm mindset. Additionally, if patients experience nausea or vomiting, timely relief measures should be taken.
