Acute pharyngitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease, with numerous clinical symptoms. The more common ones include sore throat and the sensation of a foreign body in the throat; some patients may also develop a fever. In terms of treatment, it is first necessary to conduct some indirect laryngoscopy and routine blood tests to determine the specific cause and severity of the condition. If it is caused by an acute bacterial infection, the use of antibiotics should be considered, commonly cephalosporins or penicillins. If it is due to a viral infection, antiviral medications should be considered, and glucocorticoid medications can also be used in nebulization treatment. During the treatment process, regular follow-up visits are required to observe the effects of the treatment. (Medication should be administered under the guidance of a professional physician.)

Does acute pharyngitis cause coughing?

Acute pharyngitis is a common otolaryngological disease, with its main symptoms including sore throat, fever, dry throat, itchy throat, and primarily coughing. The main cause of acute pharyngitis is the infection of bacteria or viruses, which leads to the proliferation and congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, along with the proliferation of lymphatic follicles, causing the patient to feel a foreign body sensation in the throat and triggering irritative coughing. In daily life, it is necessary to avoid spicy and stimulating food as well as cold drinks. Additionally, drinking honeysuckle tea and monk fruit-infused water can significantly alleviate the symptoms of acute pharyngitis.
