Common causes of sore throat include acute tonsillitis, epiglottitis, and acute upper respiratory tract infection. The best way to treat sore throat is to take the cause and symptomatic treatment according to the original disease and specific symptoms, commonly used antimicrobial drugs, painkillers, clearing the throat medication and other treatments. 1. Antibacterial drug treatment: Tonsillitis and epiglottitis caused by bacterial infection can be treated with antibacterial drugs such as penicillin, cephalosporin (e.g., cefuroxime) and macrolides (e.g., roxithromycin). 2. Painkillers: If the throat pain is serious, you can take throat lozenges, iodine tablets and other symptomatic pain relief treatment. 3. Heat-clearing and throat-relieving drugs: you can take blue scutellaria oral liquid, mountain plum leaf granules and other heat-clearing and throat-relieving drugs to assist in the treatment. If you have a sore throat, please go to the hospital in time to get a clear diagnosis, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the use of medication and treatment.
