👉 The term "pharyngalgic" is a medical term that refers to symptoms of inflammation or irritation in the throat, commonly associated with upper respiratory tract infections. It can be caused by several factors such as viral infection, bacterial or fungal infection, allergic reactions, or even stress and environmental irritants. Symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, coughing up mucus, pain or discomfort in the back of the throat, a sense of fullness or pressure in the chest, and sometimes a fever.
