Patient's question:
My throat feels a bit dry every night when I take a nap, and I also cough. During the nap, I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night because of the dry throat. After waking up, I need to drink some water to fall back asleep. This has been going on for about a year. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said I have pharyngitis. What should I do with chronic tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic pharyngitis is mostly caused by long-term irritation from inflammation or incomplete treatment of acute inflammation. In this case, treatment generally requires a relatively slow process. It is recommended to use Slow Yan Shu Lin in combination with some oral medications. Additionally, it is important to drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and irritating foods, especially spicy and numbing foods.
