Can acute pharyngitis heal by itself?
Acute pharyngitis may recover on its own, but there are individual differences. This mainly relates to the degree of the acute inflammatory response, the severity of the condition itself, and the patient's own resistance. If the inflammatory response is mild, the subjective symptoms are not obvious, and the patient's own resistance is strong, it is indeed possible for recovery to occur on its own. The recovery time is approximately 3 days to a week. If the inflammatory response is particularly severe, the patient's resistance is poor, and the subjective symptoms are quite noticeable, it is recommended to seek timely treatment. A routine blood test should be conducted to assess the specific degree and type of inflammation. Treatment should primarily involve oral medication, supplemented by nebulization. Some patients may also consider traditional Chinese medicine treatments. Regular follow-ups are necessary, and the treatment period is approximately one week.
