Acute pharyngitis explained
The back of the throat becomes inflamed rapidly in acute pharyngitis. It causes a sore, scratchy throat and typically clears within a week.
Causes and risk factors
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.
Care and treatment for acute pharyngitis
The doctor asks about your symptoms, looks at your throat on camera, judges whether bacteria are likely and advises on painkillers. An antibiotic is prescribed only if it is suitable. Typical choices are pain relief, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
