Pharyngitis is a disorder that affects the throat , especially the pharynx, with more or less intense inflammation.
It can be viral in nature due to flu , cold or in some cases it is attributable to a bacterial presence, with swelling of the lymph nodes.

These may be accompanied by fever, enlarged tonsils, a lump in the throat , hoarseness , aphonia, fatigue.
The causes of pharyngitis are to be found in viral attacks of flu , but also unhealthy habits related to smoking and alcohol, smog, poorly ventilated environments, dust, air conditioning.

Thanks to the presence of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, echinacea has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic and immunostimulating properties. The Echiancea Purpurea in particular works very well in case of diseases of the oral cavity, cough, bronchitis, pharyngitis.
Bacterial pharyngitis: natural remedies are not enough
In the event that pharyngitis is due to the presence of streptococcus, let us surrender to the use of antibiotics , prescribed by the doctor.
Bacteria can be very dangerous presences in our body, so we avoid doing it yourself and follow medical prescriptions carefully.
