Hello, pharyngitis is typically caused by microbial infections—such as bacteria or viruses—in the pharyngeal region. Clinical manifestations vary among individuals, but common symptoms include dryness, itching, swelling, and pain in the throat, along with a foreign-body sensation during swallowing. Additionally, patients with chronic pharyngitis frequently experience nausea and dry heaving. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
