Do not stay up late if you have pharyngitis; make sure to get sufficient sleep every day. Anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment. Avoid consuming foods that are extremely hot or cold, and drink plenty of water during the treatment period. You may appropriately take traditional Chinese patent medicines with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, such as Yiqing Capsules, Manyan Shuning, etc. Nebulized therapy at an outpatient clinic or medical center is also an option. If you develop a fever or persistent sore throat, it's best to visit a clinic or outpatient department for a blood test.
