Which department should I go to for acute pharyngitis?
Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common otolaryngologic disease, thus it is recommended to consult an otolaryngologist. It is mainly caused by acute bacterial or viral infections leading to inflammation. There are numerous clinical symptoms, with the most common being sore throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, and it may also cause fever, swallowing obstruction, and breathing difficulties. In terms of treatment, after visiting the otolaryngology department, an initial diagnosis can generally be made based on routine blood tests and indirect laryngoscopy to assess the specific cause and severity of the condition. Treatment usually involves oral medication, and nebulization therapy may also be considered. The treatment period is typically about one week. After medication, regular follow-up checks are necessary to observe the effects. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)
