Pharyngitis is the inflammation of the pharynx. It is one of the most common causes for a sore throat. Pharyngitis is caused by infections that may be viral, bacterial or fungal in nature. Among them, a viral infection is the leading cause of pharyngitis. There are non-infectious causes of pharyngitis as well. These include chemical irritants, allergies, acid reflux and irritation from tobacco smoke. Pharyngitis may be acute or chronic. Pharyngitis has an excellent scope of treatment in the homeopathic system of medicine.

I have been suffering from the same. Finally I went to CMC Vellore and there I was diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency. They prescribed me Vitamin B12 tablets 500mcg and I was told to consume more red meat. And exercise for atleast 45 minutes so that bady can convert and absorb Vitamin B12 from the red meat meal. It’s been 4 years to have pharyngitis. Sometimes I feel some infections in my throat but now it is very rare. Taxim-o was the antibiotic I was prescribed by some local doctors but in CMC they told me not to take it because slowly antibiotics does not work effectively if you takes it every time you suffer.
Note : I’m not a doctor so I just share my own experience. In your case my be this will not work. Wish you a happy and healthy life.
