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.
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
