Kadikoy’s market and food streets on the Asian side make food-related tummy troubles common. Shouting over music, smoke and alcohol dry the throat out. Drink water between drinks and rest your voice the next day.

- Emergency number: dial 112 in Turkey, not 999, 000, 111 or 911.

Why acute pharyngitis happens
The usual cause is a cold or flu virus spread through droplets and shared drinks. Air conditioning, dry air, smoke and shouting over loud music can irritate the throat further.
Typical symptoms
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck
- Pain when swallowing
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
- Sore, scratchy or burning throat
- Mild fever and tiredness
About acute pharyngitis
The back of the throat becomes inflamed quickly in acute pharyngitis. The throat feels sore and scratchy and generally resolves within about 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 painkillers. An antibiotic is prescribed only if it is appropriate. Typical choices are pain relief, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
- Use simple pain relief as directed on the pack
- Rest your voice and avoid smoke
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
