Condition analysis:
ACUTE PHARYNGITIS
Acute pharyngitis is usually caused by viruses and the symptoms are more clear. It usually occurs in a short time and with severe inflammations. If you are acute pharyngitis; you may see symptoms such as sore throat, burning in the throat, dryness, silence, fever, malaise, runny nose. If you have acute pharyngitis again and again, chronic pharyngitis may develop over time. Bacteria are also among the causes of pharyngitis. Acute pharyngitis is divided into two groups according to the cause: Viral Parangitis and Bacterial Parangitis.

CHRONIC PHARYNGITIS
Chronic pharyngitis is usually caused by allergens and gives a burning sensation in the throat. It bothers you less, but it takes longer. Chronic pharyngitis does not have fever or malaise, but there is a feeling of weakness of swallowing, coughing, burning, stretching, feeling of foreign body sticking and frequent cleaning of the throat. Infection still affects, but chronic inflammation plays a bigger role, for example as a factor in irritation of the throat, such as air pollution.

Instructions:
1. Honey
Honey mixed in tea or taken on its own is a common household remedy for a sore throat. One study found that honey was even more effective at taming nighttime coughs than common cough suppressants. Other researchshows that honey is an effective wound healer, which means it may help speed healing for sore throats.

2. Salt water
Gargling with warm salt water can help soothe a sore throat and break down secretions. It’s also known to help kill bacteria in the throat. Make a saltwater solution with a half-teaspoon of salt in a full glass of warm water. Gargle it to help reduce swelling and keep the throat clean. This should be done every three hours or so.

3. Chamomile tea
Chamomile tea is naturally soothing. It has long been used for medicinal purposes, like soothing a sore throat. It’s often used for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and astringent properties.

Some study reviews have shown that inhaling chamomile steam can help relieve symptoms of a cold, including a sore throat. Drinking chamomile tea can offer the same benefit. It can also stimulate the immune system to help your body fight off the infection that caused your sore throat in the first place.
