Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis:Hello, based on the symptoms you described, it is indicative of pharyngitis. Below are my treatment suggestions.
Suggestions:
For pharyngitis, you can try traditional Chinese medicine treatments:
- If you have severe chills, mild fever, no sweating, and a floating pulse, you can take Mahuang Decoction orally.
- If you have severe fever and mild chills, you can take Yinqiao Powder orally. It is also possible to take Niuhuang Jiedu Pills, Jiedu Xiaoyan Pills, or Lushen Pills orally.
- Locally, you can blow Bingpeng Powder or Xili Disperse into the throat.
Needling the Jiache (ST6), Hegu (LI4), Shaoshang (LU11), or performing a mandibular angle block can help reduce inflammation and provide excellent pain relief.

Thank you! However, I don’t quite understand—his throat doesn’t hurt, and he doesn’t have a fever, so how could it be pharyngitis?
