ជំងឺរលាកបំពង់ក៖ ភាពខុសគ្នារវាងកំណែនានា

 

Like many types of inflammation, pharyngitis can be [[acute (medicine)|acute]] – characterized by a rapid onset and typically a relatively short course – or [[chronic (medicine)|chronic]]. Pharyngitis can result in very large [[tonsils]] which cause trouble swallowing and breathing. Pharyngitis can be accompanied by a [[cough]] or [[fever]], for example, if caused by a [[systemic infection]].

If the inflammation includes [[tonsillitis]], it is called pharyngotonsillitis.<ref name=Ped2006>{{cite doi|10.1016/j.pcl.2005.10.001}}</ref> Another sub classification is [[nasopharyngitis]] (the common cold).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/mesh/2010/MB_cgi?field=uid&term=D014069 |title=www.nlm.nih.gov |work= |accessdate=}}</ref>

 

The majority of cases are due to an infectious organism acquired from close contact with an infected individual.

 

Acute pharyngitis is the most common cause of a [[sore throat]] and, together with cough, it is diagnosed in more than 1.9 million people a year in the United States.<ref name="Rosen2010"/>
