Pharyngitis

faringite

The pharynx is the muscular-membranous canal of the oral cavity that connects with the nasal cavity, esophagus, larynx, and middle ear.

Pharyngitis is the inflammation of the pharynx and is often referred to simply as “sore throat.”

Pharyngitis-induced sore throat is one of the most common reasons for doctor’s visits and is also one of the most frequent reasons why people stay home from work. More cases of pharyngitis occur during the colder months of the year.

To properly treat a sore throat, it is important to identify its cause. Pharyngitis can be caused by bacterial or viral infections.

Forms that do not resolve by therapy within a short time generally evolve into the chronic form.
