Pharyngitis is common all over the world. In temperate climates it is most common during the winter and early spring. Acute pharyngitis is a very common patient complaint in office-based primary care practices (Family/General practice, pediatrics). It is estimated that over 15 million patients visit their physician's office complaining of a sore throat each year in the United States. Many different microbes can cause pharyngitis as a single manifestation or as part of a more generalized illness. The sore throat, malaise and fever is quite distressing to patients however, with few exceptions (ex. diphtheria), this illness is benign and self-limiting. Approximately, 90 percent of sore throats in adults and 60 to 75% of sore throats in children are caused by viral agents.
OMG... my doctor has prescribed four days of pills with a shot to me. It hurts...
Can't believe that I need to take two days off because of Acute Pharyngitis.
Seriously... I am thinking to go back to the Gym for my health... hate getting sick for these stupid deceases.
HELP!
