Pharyngitis Treatment
About the procedure
Pharyngitis treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and addressing the underlying cause, whether viral or bacterial. Viral pharyngitis is managed with supportive care such as hydration, pain relief, throat lozenges, and rest. Bacterial pharyngitis, commonly caused by Streptococcus species, is treated with antibiotics to prevent complications like rheumatic fever. Adjunct therapies may include antiseptic gargles, anti-inflammatory medications, and lifestyle modifications. Early and appropriate management reduces discomfort, shortens illness duration, and prevents the spread of infection.
