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.
What Can Cause Acute Pharyngitis
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.
Signs of Acute Pharyngitis to Look for
- Mild fever and tiredness
- Hoarse voice or dry cough
- Sore, scratchy or burning throat
- Red throat and swollen glands in the neck
How Acute Pharyngitis Is Treated
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 suitable. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest painkillers, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
