Dr. Xu Gang
The therapeutic effect of compound borax solution on pharyngitis is generally moderate. Compound borax is a good medication; for acute episodes, traditional Chinese medicines such as Luo Han Guo (Siraitia grosvenorii) or soaked Hai Xing (Haloxylon ammodendron) can be appropriately used. Patients' friends may also take anti-inflammatory lozenges to treat this condition. During treatment, patients with rhinitis might encounter some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications. It is important to note that chronic pharyngitis can result from repeated colds or inadequate management of common colds.
