Acute pharyngitis is a sudden inflammation of the back of the throat, generally caused by a virus and sometimes by bacteria such as streptococcus. The throat feels sore and scratchy and typically clears up within about a week.

Bosphorus ferry trips mean hours of sun and wind on deck, and sunburn and colds are the typical result. Crowded buses, boats and indoor attractions spread colds. Carry lozenges and wash your hands before eating.
Travel Guide to Bosphorus
The Bosphorus is the strait linking the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, lined with palaces, fortresses and wooden waterside mansions. Tourist tip: take a public ferry or private cruise past Dolmabahce, Ortakoy and Rumeli Fortress.
Care and Treatment for Acute Pharyngitis
The physician asks about your symptoms, looks at the throat on camera, decides whether a bacterial cause is likely and advises on painkillers, with an antibiotic prescription only where it is suitable. Treatment can involve pain relief, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
- Use simple painkillers as directed on the pack
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
