Acute Pharyngitis Explained
Acute pharyngitis means a sudden swelling of the back of the throat, mostly due to a virus and occasionally bacteria such as streptococcus. A virus is the usual cause, bacteria like streptococcus the exception, and it typically passes in around a week.
Symptoms of Acute Pharyngitis
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
- Mild fever and tiredness
- Sore, scratchy or burning throat
- Pain when swallowing
What Can Cause Acute Pharyngitis
The usual cause is a cold or flu virus spread through droplets and shared drinks. Air conditioning, dry air, smoking and shouting over loud music can irritate the throat and make it worse.
Acute Pharyngitis in Bodrum: What to Know Locally
Bodrum combines the castle, marina and nightlife, so long sunny days often finish with a late night and dehydration. Shouting over music, smoke and alcohol dry the throat out. Drink water between drinks and rest your voice the next day.
