Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lu Cheng
The treatment medications for chronic pharyngitis are diverse and mainly include the following categories:
1. Antibiotics: Such as azithromycin and roxithromycin, suitable for patients with obvious mucosal congestion or mild dry throat pain. These medications should be used under a doctor's guidance to avoid misuse.
2. Antiallergic medications: Such as Claritin tablets (loratadine) and budesonide suspension for nebulization, suitable for chronic pharyngitis triggered by allergic factors.
3. Traditional Chinese patent medicines: Such as Manyanshuning, Qingsao Liyan Capsules, and Pharyngitis Pills, which have effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, soothing the throat, and relieving symptoms such as dry throat and throat itching.
4. Lozenges: Such as Yinhuang Throat Lozenges and Menthol Eucalyptus Oil Lozenges, which have moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects and can alleviate throat discomfort.
