Acute pharyngitis has dry throat, itchy throat and sore throat as the main symptoms; acute laryngitis has hoarseness, cough and sputum, sore throat and breath-holding as the main symptoms. When acute pharyngitis involves the larynx, it can start acute laryngitis.

If the lymph nodes in the neck are swollen and painful, appropriate hot compresses can be applied. If the systemic symptoms are severe with high fever, antibiotics and antiviral drugs can be given through the intravenous route, and antipyretic and analgesic drugs can be used for headache, fever, aching limbs and severe sore throat. 2, acute laryngitis: acute laryngitis can be caused by viral or bacterial infection, but also due to excessive use of sound, so the first choice needs to control the use of sound, as little as possible to speak, so that the vocal cords rest.
