What Is Acute Pharyngitis?
Acute pharyngitis is a sudden inflammation of the back of the throat, normally caused by a virus and sometimes by bacteria such as streptococcus. It causes a sore, scratchy throat and normally clears within a week.
Symptoms of Acute Pharyngitis
- Pain when swallowing
- Mild fever and tiredness
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck
- Sore, scratchy or burning throat
What Can Cause Acute Pharyngitis
Most cases are caused by cold and flu viruses that spread through droplets and shared cups. Dry air-conditioned rooms, cigarette smoke and shouting in noisy bars make it worse.
Care and Treatment for Acute Pharyngitis
The physician 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. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest painkillers, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
- Use simple painkillers as directed on the pack
- Rest your voice and avoid smoke
