The treatment of pharyngitis requires a comprehensive approach involving multiple factors. The following are some methods for rapid relief and treatment of pharyngitis:
1. **Medication treatment**:
- **Antibiotics**, such as Roxithromycin tablets and Amoxicillin tablets, are used to inhibit or kill bacteria in the throat.
- **Hormonal medications**, such as Prednisolone tablets and Dexamethasone Acetate tablets, help reduce inflammation, counteract toxins, and relieve swelling.
- **Antipyretic analgesics**, such as Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and Paracetamol tablets, can alleviate throat pain and burning sensations.
2. **Non-medication treatment**:
- Quit smoking and avoid alcohol consumption; avoid speaking for prolonged periods or at loud volumes.
- Gargle with salt water to help clear bacteria accumulated in the throat.
- Nebulizer therapy: Use a nebulizer to deliver medication directly to the throat, relieving dryness and pain.
3. **Adjust lifestyle habits**:
- Avoid consuming spicy, greasy, and irritating foods.
- Maintain adequate water intake to help thin mucus and promote phlegm expulsion.
