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. A virus is the usual cause, bacteria like streptococcus the exception, and it typically passes in around a week.
Symptoms of acute pharyngitis
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
- Pain when swallowing
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck

Causes and risk factors
The usual cause is a cold or flu virus spread through droplets and shared drinks. Air conditioning, dry air, smoking and shouting over loud music can irritate the throat and make it worse.
