Scratchy throat is a common disease we encounter in our daily life. It is mainly caused by inflammation of mucous membrane and submucosa in the throat. It can affect the lymph tissue beside the pharynx. The pathogenic factors are related to bacterial infection, viral infection, environmental factors and patients' preference for spicy and stimulating food. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is a kind of fever, so in our daily life, we can eat more cool food, gargle with salt water, and do not smoke, drink or stay up late. If such treatment has no effect, you can purchase some Chinese patent medicine for clearing heat and detoxification under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist.
