2. Cough and phlegm medicines: If the symptoms of sore throat are caused by irritation of the throat due to a relatively severe cough, you can take antitussive expectorant drugs such as compound licorice tablets and dextromethorphan hydrobromide granules according to the doctor's instructions, which can play a role in cough and phlegm, thereby reducing the discomfort symptoms.

In addition to the above treatments, treatment can also be carried out by nebulized inhalation, and commonly used drugs include budesonide suspension, terbutaline sulfate nebulized inhalation solution, etc. If the patient has obvious fever symptoms, it needs to be actively treated by physical cooling or antipyretic drugs according to the doctor's instructions, such as ibuprofen extended-release capsules, acetaminophen tablets, etc.
