About 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. It causes a sore, scratchy throat and normally clears within a week.
Common Triggers
Cold and flu viruses passed on by droplets and shared cups cause most cases. Dry air-conditioned rooms, cigarette smoke and shouting in noisy bars make it worse.
Acute Pharyngitis in Beyoglu: What to Know Locally
Beyoglu’s steep streets, rooftop bars and street food bring walking injuries and upset stomachs. Shouting over music, smoke and alcohol dry the throat out. Drink water between drinks and rest your voice the next day.
Treatment Options for Acute Pharyngitis in Beyoglu
The doctor 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. Treatment can involve painkillers, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
- Rest your voice and avoid smoke
- Gargle with warm salty water or suck lozenges
- Drink plenty of warm and cool fluids
