Pharyngitis can be treated with both cephalosporin and roxithromycin simultaneously. Pharyngitis is a common and frequently occurring condition in otorhinolaryngology. It occurs when a patient's immunity and resistance decline, leading to acute viral or bacterial infection. Both cephalosporin and roxithromycin have significant anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and detoxifying effects. These medications can be used to treat various pharyngeal disorders, help alleviate sore throat and swelling in patients with pharyngitis, and reduce the severity of the condition.
