Acute pharyngitis and coughing are often due to inflammation of the throat accompanied by congestion and edema, which can be irritating to the throat. There is also inflammatory exudate in the throat, which can also stimulate the respiratory system to produce more than a cough, anti-inflammatory treatment of the throat is very important. In the early stages of pharyngitis, the infection is often viral, and it is recommended to use proprietary antiviral medications, such as Pu Di Lan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid or Blue Baicalin Oral Liquid, which are both effective. If the throat is accompanied by pus or the blood test is accompanied by elevated white blood cells, it means that it is caused by bacterial infection, and oral antibiotic treatment is needed, such as cefixime, cefradine, amoxicillin, azithromycin. Coughing requires the use of cough suppressants, such as compound licorice syrup.
