Objective:
Observe anti-inflammatory effect and the effect on acute pharyngitis rats model induced by ammonia water of compound Lobelia oral liquid, providing experimental basis for its clinical use.
Methods:
Use egg white establish foot swelling rats model and use carboxymethyl cellulose establish white blood cell migration rats model. Then observe the anti-inflammatory effect of compound Lobelia oral liquid. Use 15% ammonia spray at pharyngeal establish acute pharyngitis rats model, Visual observation and conduct grading of pharyngeal tissue stimulation in rats, measure the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum. Pharyngeal tissue was taken to observe the morphological changes.
Result:
All dose groups of compound Lobelia oral liquid can reduce the rate of foot swelling of rats at all time points (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), and significantly reduce the number of white blood cells of rats (P < 0.01); And improve the local hyperemia degree, reduce secretion, reduce local swelling of pharyngeal tissue, reduce the serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels of acute pharyngitis rats with different degrees (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Compound Lobelia oral liquid has a good anti-inflammatory effect on foot swelling and white blood cell migration rats model, as well as significant improvement effect on acute pharyngitis rats model.

Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...
