Patient's question:
What should I do if my sore throat doesn't get better after long-term treatment?Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to serve you. Based on the issue you've described, if the sore throat persists for a long time and treatment is not effective, this is a case of persistent hiccups. It's necessary to undergo tests to identify the underlying cause. First, a thorough examination should be conducted to check for any stomach problems, and the stomach condition should be treated actively. Additionally, it's possible to have cerebrovascular diseases, such as a stroke, which can easily lead to persistent hiccups. For persistent hiccups, acupuncture can generally be used for treatment, and flupentixol can also be administered, both of which are quite effective.
