Patients experiencing pain in the throat that makes swallowing difficult often exhibit significant discomfort during swallowing, which is typically associated with acute inflammation in the throat. The most common conditions include acute tonsillitis or acute pharyngitis. Factors such as excessive voice use, heavy smoking and alcohol consumption, spicy and irritating foods, exposure to cold and damp environments, fatigue, staying up late leading to decreased immunity, and contact with dust, chemicals, or irritants can contribute to acute inflammation in the throat. In more severe cases, patients may develop edema in the throat and soft palate mucosa, as well as purulent infections in the tonsils, which can exacerbate throat pain or cause difficulty in swallowing food. A thorough examination of the throat is also necessary, as some patients may develop potentially dangerous complications such as peritonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, acute epiglottitis, or deep neck abscess.
