AI overview
Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the back of the throat that causes a sore throat and fever, often accompanied by other symptoms like cough, difficulty swallowing, and swollen lymph nodes. While symptoms typically resolve in 3–5 days, the condition matters because it can sometimes lead to complications such as sinusitis or ear infections.
