What is acute pharyngitis?
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.
Signs of acute pharyngitis to look for
- Mild fever and tiredness
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck
- Pain when swallowing
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
Common triggers
Cold and flu viruses passed on by droplets and shared cups cause most cases. Air conditioning, dry air, smoking and shouting over loud music can irritate the throat and make it worse.
Demre: local notes for acute pharyngitis
Demre suits walkers and explorers, but sun, ticks, insects and uneven paths mean minor injuries and bites are common. Other places within reach include Antalya, Kemer, Tekirova. Dusty roads, campfire smoke and cold mountain mornings irritate the throat. Pack lozenges and a scarf.
Travel guide to Demre
Demre sits beside ancient Myra, known for its Lycian rock tombs, Roman theatre and the church of St Nicholas. Trip for travellers: visit the sights, then boat to the sunken ruins at Kekova from nearby Ucagiz. Shopping is simple, with local souvenirs and fruit stalls.
How acute pharyngitis is treated
The doctor 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 appropriate. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest 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
- Rest your voice and avoid smoke
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
