Acute pharyngitis is usually a severe sore throat caused by viruses, often accompanied by fever, and typically resolves within a few days, typically occurring during the winter months. However, chronic pharyngitis is a completely different and insidious condition. The lymphatic tissues (follicles) at the back of the throat swell, redden, and form blisters due to constant exposure to an irritant. This relentless onslaught isn&#039;t caused by a microbe or bacteria; it&#039;s caused by stomach acid reflux, constant mouth breathing due to nasal congestion, chronic postnasal drip, cigarette smoke, or working in dry\/dusty environments. Because the condition isn&#039;t microbial, months of antibiotic or painkiller use will be ineffective. The real and lasting solution is to find and eliminate the &quot;hidden enemy&quot; that is inflamed the throat from within.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65492f0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"65492f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5a0dce elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"b5a0dce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-check\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Those who experience constant dryness, burning, and a stinging sensation in their throat, as if there were &quot;grains of sand&quot;

Because in this scenario, the throat is merely the victim; the real culprit is usually elsewhere. I examine the entire passage from the back of the nose to the vocal cords with a camera (endoscope). If the problem is silent reflux at night, I develop a treatment plan targeting the stomach; if it&#039;s mouth breathing due to a deviated nasal septum, I develop a treatment plan targeting the nose.
