3. Sore throat is easy to recur - why?

If not completely treated, acute pharyngitis will easily turn into chronic pharyngitis that is long-lasting and easy to recur. The causes leading to frequent recurrence of pharyngitis if not knowing how to treat chronic pharyngitis include:
Weak and vulnerable pharyngeal mucosa; Air pollution, tobacco, dust, ice...; Abuse of antibiotics to treat pharyngitis can easily lead to drug resistance; Using antibiotics incorrectly (using antibiotics to treat viruses, fungi...); Patients are subjective with mild disease symptoms, until the disease becomes severe, new treatment; Weak resistance, weak immune system, easy attack by viruses or bacteria; Throat capillaries are stretched, torn, and mucosal damage caused by spitting easily leads to superinfection.
