When clinically treating pharyngitis, patients take cephalosporin or roxithromycin, as determined by the specific condition, as follows: 1. Both can be taken: If it is acute pharyngitis, caused by bacterial infection, it is recommended that oral cephalosporins be considered first, because the therapeutic effect of cephalosporins is relatively better. If you are allergic to cephalosporin and penicillin, you can choose to take oral roxithromycin in this case, which also has a therapeutic effect. 2. Neither can be taken: If it is chronic pharyngitis, allergic pharyngitis, it is not recommended to use cephalosporin, nor roxithromycin. Because this type of pharyngitis is not due to bacterial infection, there is no need to use antibiotics. If it is allergic pharyngitis, you can choose oral anti-allergy drugs, more commonly antihistamines, such as Epstein tablets, and also oral leukotriene receptor antagonists, such as montelukast sodium chewable tablets. If it is chronic pharyngitis, you can choose to take oral Chinese medicine for treatment, more commonly used is pharyngitis tablets, which need to be reviewed regularly to observe the effect.
