Why Acute Pharyngitis Happens
Most cases are caused by cold and flu viruses that spread through droplets and shared cups. Air conditioning, dry air, smoking and shouting over loud music can irritate the throat and make it worse.

How Acute Pharyngitis Is Treated
The doctor asks about your symptoms, looks at your throat on camera, judges whether bacteria are likely and advises on pain relief. An antibiotic is prescribed only if it is appropriate. Options may include painkillers, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
