Pamukkale: local notes for acute pharyngitis
Pamukkale’s white travertine terraces are walked barefoot, and the glare and heat cause sunburn and cuts. Dusty roads, campfire smoke and cold mountain mornings irritate the throat. Pack lozenges and a scarf.
Travel guide to Pamukkale
Above Pamukkale’s white travertine terraces lies ancient Hierapolis, with its theatre and necropolis. Tourist tip: walk the terraces barefoot, swim among sunken columns in the Antique Pool and shop in Denizli province for towels and textiles.
How acute pharyngitis is treated
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. Options may include pain relief, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
- Use simple painkillers as directed on the pack
- Rest your voice and avoid smoke
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
