What Is Acute Pharyngitis?
Acute pharyngitis is a sudden inflammation of the back of the throat, generally caused by a virus and sometimes by bacteria such as streptococcus. It causes a sore, scratchy throat and typically clears within a week.
Symptoms of Acute Pharyngitis

- Hoarse voice or dry cough
- Sore, scratchy or burning throat
- Mild fever and tiredness
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck
What Can Cause Acute Pharyngitis
The usual cause is a cold or flu virus spread through droplets and shared drinks. Dry air-conditioned rooms, cigarette smoke and shouting in noisy bars make it worse.
Prevention Tips
Wash your hands often, avoid sharing cups and cutlery, and stay away from people with a cold when you can.
How Acute Pharyngitis Is Treated
You describe your symptoms, the doctor inspects the throat by video and decides how likely a bacterial infection is, suggesting pain relief and an antibiotic only when it is justified. Typical choices are painkillers, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
