Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the throat or pharynx. In most cases it is painful, and thus is often referred to as a sore throat. Like many types of inflammation, pharyngitis can be acute – characterized by a rapid onset and typically a relatively short course – or chronic. The remainder of this article is about the acute form. Acute pharyngitis can result in very large tonsils which cause trouble swallowing and breathing. Some cases are accompanied by a cough or fever. Most acute cases are caused by viral infections (40%–60%), with the remainder caused by bacterial infections, fungal infections, or irritants such as pollutants or chemical substances. Treatment of viral causes are mainly symptomatic while bacterial or fungal causes may be amenable to antibiotics and anti-fungals respectively. Acute pharyngitis is one type of upper respiratory tract infection. The pharynx is a common site of infection. After a person is directly exposed to the causing agent, such as viruses or bacteria, the latter will often settle in this part of the body. Examples of direct contact include inhaling dust or water vapour containing the microorganism. Viral pharyngitis: These comprise about 40-60% of all infectious cases and can be a feature of many different types of viral infections. Bacterial pharyngitis: A number of different bacteria can infect the human throat. The most common is Group A streptococcus (strep throat), however others include, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. In Europe, bio-oxidative therapy has been used, and found to be an effective management of sore throat. For more information on how to stay healthy with bio-oxidative therapy . . . . . CLICK HERE!
