What should I do if my throat feels like it’s on fire?

The throat feels like it is on fire with a burning sensation. The common diseases that cause this symptom are acute pharyngitis and acute tonsillitis, which are mainly caused by the throat being infected by bacteria and viruses. Treatment requires anti-inflammatory and anti-viral therapy. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be chosen from cefixime tablets, cefuroxime tablets or roxithromycin tablets for treatment, and anti-viral drugs can be chosen from anti-viral oral solution or acyclovir for treatment. Along with oral medication, it is recommended to do oral nebulized inhalation treatment to directly reduce inflammation and swelling of the throat. If oral medication is not effective in controlling the condition, an infusion of antibiotics is required. The usual diet prohibits eating spicy and stimulating food, no smoking or drinking, and it is recommended to drink more water, talk less and rest more.
