Is nebulization useful for acute pharyngitis?
Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common otolaryngologic disease, mainly caused by acute viral or bacterial infections that lead to inflammation. Nebulization could be considered as it is a commonly used treatment method, which helps alleviate throat pain and reduce congestion and edema of the pharyngeal mucosa, and also aids in recovery from the illness. However, oral medication is usually necessary in conjunction with nebulization. If it's a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be considered, and if it's a viral infection, antiviral medications should be used. Some patients might also combine oral traditional Chinese medicine for comprehensive treatment. The general treatment period is about a week, and regular follow-up is needed to monitor recovery. (Specific medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.)
