According to statistics, pharyngitis is a very common disease, accounting for 40 - 65% of the population depending on the region, area, living conditions and activities. The disease is especially common when the weather changes seasons. In addition, there are many different types of pharyngitis such as acute pharyngitis, chronic pharyngitis, congestive pharyngitis..., so we need to distinguish clearly to find the most appropriate and correct treatment direction.

Chronic pharyngitis can reduce the patient's quality of life, making it difficult for them to communicate and eat due to itching, sore throat, etc. Chronic pharyngitis that recurs many times can even pose a risk of complications such as nasopharyngeal cancer - a direct threat to the patient's life.

The changing of seasons is a favorable time for bacteria and viruses to develop and cause respiratory diseases, including acute pharyngitis. The disease does not have much impact on health, however, if treated late, dangerous complications such as glomerulonephritis and rheumatic heart disease can occur, especially in young children.

I want to ask the doctor that tiny pimples on the tongue and the lower part of the tongue under the gums are a sign of what disease? Hope to hear back soon, thank you!

Acute pharyngitis is one of the most common diseases in the community. Most cases of acute pharyngitis are caused by respiratory viruses and are self-limiting. However, the symptoms of viral pharyngitis often overlap with those of pharyngitis caused by serious, treatable causes.
