Patients with pharyngitis should drink plenty of water, maintain indoor air circulation, and prevent secondary bacterial infections. During acute episodes caused by bacterial infection, dietary habits must be carefully observed—avoid spicy and irritating foods, consume more vegetables and fruits, take medications for pharyngitis, and select appropriate antibiotics or broad-spectrum antibiotics for treatment, which can achieve better therapeutic outcomes.
