What is 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. The throat feels sore and scratchy and normally clears up within about a week.
Causes and risk factors
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.
Local tips for acute pharyngitis in Olympos-Cirali
Olympos and Cirali are forested, with trails, ruins and a pebble beach, so insect bites, scrapes and sun are common. Dusty roads, campfire smoke and cold mountain mornings irritate the throat. Pack lozenges and a scarf.
Travel guide to Olympos-Cirali
Olympos was a Lycian port city, and today its ruins sit in a forested valley beside Cirali. Tourist tip: walk to the Chimaera flames at Yanartas after dark, hike a stretch of the Lycian Way and watch for nesting loggerhead turtles on the beach in season. Shopping is minimal; swimming and snorkelling are the water activities.
How acute pharyngitis is treated
You describe your symptoms, the physician inspects the throat by video and decides how likely a bacterial infection is, suggesting painkillers and an antibiotic only when it is justified. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest painkillers, 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
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
- Rest your voice and avoid smoke
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
