Sore throats only require anti-inflammatory medication when there is a bacterial infection, and the anti-inflammatory medications that are more effective in treating this are amoxicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics. Sore throats need to be treated after the cause is identified. Common causes include acute pharyngitis, acute tonsillitis, influenza, and so on. Acute pharyngitis, the doctor will be based on test results to give the appropriate anti-infective treatment program, commonly used antibiotics are penicillin, cephalosporin, azithromycin and other antibiotics. Acute viral tonsillitis is self-limiting, generally do not need antibacterial drug treatment, mainly symptomatic treatment. Commonly used antibacterial drugs in bacterial tonsillitis are cefdinir, azithromycin and so on. Influenza generally requires antiviral drug treatment, common oseltamivir, zanamivir, paramivir and so on. Do not use anti-inflammatory drugs without authorization when you have a sore throat, or not only can not relieve the symptoms, but also lead to a delay in the condition. Patients should seek timely medical treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
