Inflammation of the throat or pharynx is known as Pharyngitis. It is painful, and thus is often referred to as a sore throat. Inflammation of the tonsillitis and/or laryngitis may occur simultaneously, which can make eating difficult or painful.
Its mostly caused by viral infection (40%-60%), with the remainder caused by bacterial infections, fungal infections, or irritants such as pollutants or chemical substances.
The pharynx is a common site of infection. This is because viruses and bacteria often settle in this part of the body after a person inhales dust or water vapour containing the microorganism. Infection can also arise when a person touches their nose or mouth after having touched an object shared with another person with the disease. The foreign invader reproduces rapidly after settling on the body tissue.
