Homoeopathic Medicine for Acute Pharyngitis
This is the more frequent variety, occurring primarily during the winter months and less often in autumn or spring. It is precedes the common cold, and may accompany influenza, measles, scarlet fever, typhoid fever or Smallpox.
Symptoms
Sore throat
Coryza
Feeling coldness
A slight pyrexia
Headache
Backache
Joint pains
Throat feels dry, raw, uncomfortable or painful, especially on swallowing. Hoarseness.
These symptoms last for a day or two until the coryza, influenza or infectious fever become apparent.
Examination
On examination of throat there is an obvious redness, sometimes swelling of the mucosa of the soft palate, tonsils and posterior pharyngeal wall. The uvula shares in this and occasionally there is some haemorrhage into it.
The cervical glands are palpable and tender. In children the mouth should be examined for Koplik's spots in case the pharyngitis is the precursor of measles.
Treatment
As a rule no treatment is required, but if advice is sought the patient should remain indoors and take aspirin 0.3-0.6gm every 4 hours. There is no indication for prescribing antibiotics unless the Pharyngitis proceeds to one of the fevers. Lozenges, such as domiphen bromide (Bradosol), dequalinium chloride or tyrothricin and benzocaine, are often soothing if allowed to dissolve slowly under the tongue.
