Patients with acute pharyngitis can eat chicken, as it is a common type of meat and does not have direct side effects on the condition of acute pharyngitis, nor does it affect the treatment outcome. It also does not directly interfere with the medications used for treating acute pharyngitis. However, merely controlling diet does not significantly affect the treatment of acute pharyngitis; it requires combination with oral medications. Currently, antibiotics are commonly used, and can be combined with nebulizer therapy. During the treatment process, it is necessary to regularly review and observe the treatment effects. Most patients will gradually improve with timely treatment. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

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.)

Can I eat biscuits with acute pharyngitis?

Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common ENT disease with various clinical symptoms. The more common symptoms include sore throat, foreign body sensation, fever, and swallowing obstruction. Regarding diet, it is generally advised to eat fewer biscuits, as biscuits are quite dry and may exacerbate the condition of pharyngitis. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, focusing on a light, soft, or semi-liquid diet. Medication treatment should also be considered. If the inflammation is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics may be considered. If it is caused by a viral infection, antiviral medications should be considered. Nebulization therapy is also recommended, and typically, the treatment period is about one week. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

Do you need injections for acute pharyngitis?

Acute pharyngitis does not necessarily require injections. The decision to administer injections should consider the condition and the patient's own state comprehensively. Generally, for most patients with mild inflammatory responses and not particularly obvious symptoms, the first consideration is still drug treatment. Currently, the main treatments are oral antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine. It is also recommended to complement treatment with nebulization. Attention should also be paid to diet; smoking and drinking alcohol should be avoided, as should spicy and irritating foods. It is preferable to stick to soft, liquid or semi-liquid diets, with lighter foods being better. If the inflammatory response is particularly severe and conservative treatment with oral medications is ineffective, then injections or intravenous therapies may be considered.

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.
