What should I do if my pharyngitis gets worse after gargling with salt water?

Pharyngitis gargling with salt water has an auxiliary therapeutic effect, but not from the more fundamental treatment, but also need to follow the doctor’s instructions to choose oral medication, local treatment and surgical treatment.
1. Oral medication: If the inflammation invades the larynx or trachea, appropriate antibiotic medication can be used, such as cefixime or amoxicillin. For some viral infections caused by pharyngitis, antiviral drugs may be effective, such as ribavirin, ganciclovir and so on, the above drugs are taken under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Local treatment: chronic simple pharyngitis patients can follow the doctor’s instructions with compound borax solution, furacilin solution, 2% boric acid solution gargle. Atrophic pharyngitis can be coated with 2% iodized glycerin in the pharynx, which can improve local blood circulation and promote gland secretion.
Surgery: Surgery can be chosen for particularly severe pharyngitis, especially when the lymphoid follicles in the pharynx are hyperplastic, elevated and partially fused in the form of a mass.
Pharyngitis with salt water gargle instead of serious, it is recommended that patients go to the local hospital in time, so as not to affect the condition, the above drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
