Pharyngitis is mostly caused by deficiency syndrome, and the main treatment method is to nourish the body, or nourish yin and reduce fire, or warm and nourish the spleen and kidney, and guide people back to their roots. Because the course of the disease is long, it is difficult to get a quick effect, so long-term medication is required. When nourishing yin, it is necessary to prevent it from being too greasy, and when warming and nourishing, it is necessary to prevent it from being too dry. As for those who have phlegm and blood stasis, because the root cause is the combination of deficiency and excess, it is not advisable to attack it blindly and hurt the body's vital energy, which will make the condition more complicated. In addition to drug treatment, appropriate psychological counseling to make people feel comfortable and regulate the qi is also very important.

To prevent pharyngitis, you should drink plenty of water every day, protect your throat, take good rest, and avoid being too tired. Don't stay at home when you have nothing to do, but go out for exercise and try to eat foods that can moisten your throat, such as pears, pomegranates, etc. The air in your house should be fresh and the humidity should be appropriate.
