Duration of chronic pharyngitis
A chronic pharyngitis can last for months or years until it is even diagnosed. Often there is an improvement or disappearance of symptoms until the inflammation recurs. Therapy is very important for the improvement or relief of the symptoms.
In general, regardless of the cause, it is very important to avoid noxious substances such as alcohol or nicotine. Sometimes the symptoms do not go back. This is especially the case when a systemic disease such as diabetes mellitus is present, which weakens the immune system.
