About acute pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is a sudden inflammation of the back of the throat, generally caused by a virus and sometimes by bacteria such as streptococcus. It causes a sore, scratchy throat and typically clears within a week.
Common triggers
Most cases are caused by cold and flu viruses that spread through droplets and shared cups. Air conditioning, dry air, smoke and shouting over loud music can irritate the throat further.

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 painkillers and an antibiotic only when it is justified.
