If it is acute, drink plenty of water and maintain a light diet, focusing on high-protein, high-calorie, vitamin-rich liquid or semi-liquid foods. Get adequate rest. Actively control inflammation using sensitive antibiotics or antiviral medications. If pharyngitis recurs frequently, consider seeking further evaluation and treatment from an otolaryngology department at a hospital. When necessary, undergo laryngoscopy to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment.
