Things worth knowing about "Pharyngitis"

Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa that usually occurs acutely and is often accompanied by a sore throat, difficulty swallowing and a scratchy throat.

Throat inflammation is one of the most common causes of visits to the doctor during the cold season and can be both viral or bacterial in origin.

In most cases, pharyngitis is caused by viruses e.g. rhinoviruses, adenoviruses or coronaviruses. A sudden onset with a sore throat, often accompanied by a cough, runny nose or mild fever is typical. In bacterial pharyngitis - e.g. caused by streptococci - the symptoms are usually more severe, with a high temperature, swollen lymph nodes and purulent deposits in the throat. Careful differentiation is important, as only bacterial forms may require antibiotic treatment

Herbal remedies help to alleviate the symptoms throat sprays., gargling with sage tea or salt water, adequate fluid intake and micronutrients such as Zinc, Vitamin C, Lactoferrin or Sage with its anti-inflammatory and antiviral support. Strengthening the mucosal barrier through lollipops, moist room air or inhalations can also contribute to a faster recovery.
