The back of the throat becomes inflamed rapidly in acute pharyngitis. A virus is the usual cause, bacteria like streptococcus the exception, and it typically passes in around a week.
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. Treatment can involve pain relief, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
