Understanding acute pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis means a sudden swelling of the back of the throat, mostly due to a virus and occasionally bacteria such as streptococcus. The throat feels sore and scratchy and usually settles within about a week.
How acute pharyngitis feels
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
- Mild fever and tiredness
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck
- Sore, scratchy or burning throat
Common triggers
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.
Getting acute pharyngitis treated in Tosmur
The doctor 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. Treatment can involve painkillers, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
- Rest your voice and avoid smoke
