Pharyngitis (IPA: [ˌfarɪnˈdʒʌɪtɪs]) is, in most cases, a painful inflammation of the pharynx, and is colloquially referred to as a sore throat. Infection of the tonsils (tonsillitis) and/or larynx (laryngitis) may occur simultaneously.
About 90% of cases are caused by viral infection, with the remainder caused by bacterial infection and, in rare cases, oral thrush (fungal candidiasis e.g. in babies). Some cases of pharyngitis are caused by irritation from elements such as pollutants or chemical substances.
I've been sleeping like a groundhog hibernating during the wintertime for more than 2 weeks because I've had pharyngitis and cold. I'm so glad that I'm getting over them now. I cough just a bit when I talk a lot. Praise God for healing me. I feel much better now! Yay!
God, please keep my parents healthy. Help them not to get pharyngitis & cold after me. It will be too much for them to bear and will take too long for them to get over them, for they are older and have weaker immune systems than I. I had a terribly hard time doing the regular things I used to do. It will be 30 times more painful for them since they are 30 years older than I am. In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, I pray. Amen.
