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. The throat feels sore and scratchy and generally settles within about a week.
Causes and Risk Factors
The usual cause is a cold or flu virus spread through droplets and shared drinks. Air conditioning, dry air, smoke and shouting over loud music can irritate the throat further.
Signs of Acute Pharyngitis to Look for
- Sore, scratchy or burning throat
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck
- Mild fever and tiredness
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
What to Know About Acute Pharyngitis in Bitez
Visitors to Bitez 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 Torba, Konacik, Golturkbuku, 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.
