Acute pharyngitis explained
Acute pharyngitis means a sudden swelling of the back of the throat, mostly due to a virus and occasionally bacteria such as streptococcus. It causes a sore, scratchy throat and typically clears within a week.
Symptoms of acute pharyngitis
- Mild fever and tiredness
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
- Pain when swallowing
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck
What can cause acute pharyngitis
Cold and flu viruses passed on by droplets and shared cups cause most cases. Air conditioning, dry air, smoking and shouting over loud music can irritate the throat and make it worse.
Local tips for acute pharyngitis in Payallar
Visitors to Payallar spend long hours in sun and water and eat out a lot, so sunburn, ear problems and stomach upsets are what doctors see most. Close by are Avsallar, Gazipasa, Demre, which share the same medical services. Chlorinated pools, sea water and cold drinks after a hot day can leave a scratchy throat. Drink water, rest your voice and do not swim with a fever.

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 pain relief. An antibiotic is prescribed only if it is appropriate. Options may include painkillers, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
- Use simple pain relief as directed on the pack
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
- Rest your voice and avoid smoke
