Pharyngitis caused by bacterial infection is a common disease. Potassium permanganate solution has the effect of killing bacteria and sterilizing, but it generally needs to be dissolved into a 1/5000 solution for use, otherwise it may cause skin burns. In addition to using the solution for cleaning, it is best to take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally, such as levofloxacin tablets.
