Patients who have acute pharyngitis are generally best served by applying cephalosporin antibiotics. In cephalosporin antibiotics, patients are recommended to use second and third generation cephalosporins. Second generation cephalosporins include cefmetazole, cefoxitin and cefotetan, and third generation cephalosporins include cefdinir, ceftazidime and ceftriaxone. Patients are recommended to selectively apply them. Before applying cephalosporins, it is necessary to clarify whether there is any history of allergy to cephalosporins to avoid allergic reactions. It is recommended that alcohol must not be consumed and it is best not to smoke when using the medication. Smoking can produce many harmful chemicals that can irritate the mucous membrane of the throat and aggravate the symptoms of pharyngitis. If there is no improvement after symptomatic treatment, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for further examination. If it is chronic pharyngitis, taking antibiotics is not effective.
