Pharyngitis

Pharyngitis is inflammation of the throat behind the mouth — scratchy pain, often with a cold.

It overlaps with tonsillitis. We treat pain, keep fluids up, and use antibiotics only when the exam and history suggest a bacterial cause.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Scratchy throat

Feel

Pain on swallowing, mild fever and a dry cough are common.

Usually viral

Cause

Colds, flu and other viruses settle in a few days with supportive care.

Not always germs

Other

Dry air, reflux and post-nasal drip can mimic an infection.

Comfort

Care

Warm fluids and the right pain medicine make school possible again sooner.

Evaluation

What we look for

Look

Exam

Redness, exudate, rash and tummy pain help us sort viral from streptococcal illness.

Hydration

Home

Ice pops, sips and soft food keep a miserable child safer than forcing a full meal.

Medicines

Choice

No steroid or antibiotic ‘just in case’ unless the picture is clear.

If lingering

Review

Pain beyond a week or night sweats need a second look.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Come in if throat pain is severe, there is a rash, tummy pain with fever, or the child cannot swallow saliva.
