What is acute pharyngitis?
The back of the throat becomes inflamed rapidly in acute pharyngitis. The throat feels sore and scratchy and usually settles within about a week.
Common triggers
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.
Marmaris: local notes for acute pharyngitis
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. Shouting over music, smoke and alcohol dry the throat out. Drink water between drinks and rest your voice the next day.
Travel guide to Marmaris
Marmaris was ancient Physkos, and its castle overlooks the harbour. Trip for travellers: explore the old town, shop the Grand Bazaar for textiles, leather and spices, and join a boat trip along the bays. Water sports include jet-skiing, parasailing, diving and windsurfing.

Care and treatment for acute pharyngitis
The physician asks about your symptoms, looks at the throat on camera, decides whether a bacterial cause is likely and advises on pain relief, with an antibiotic prescription only where it is appropriate. Options may include pain relief, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
