What are the symptoms of gonococcal pharyngitis

Gonorrheal pharyngitis mainly manifests as acute pharyngitis or acute tonsillitis. This disease is mainly caused by oral sex. The symptoms of gonococcal pharyngitis are relatively obvious, mainly manifested in throat discomfort. Patients may also have oral sex, which can cause gonorrhea to enter the mouth.

1. Gonorrheal pharyngitis:

Symptoms include dry and uncomfortable throat, throat pain, burning, difficulty in swallowing, odynophagia, congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, red and swollen tonsils, and purulent secretions attached to the pharyngeal wall.

2. Acute simple pharyngitis:

The onset is acute and often occurs simultaneously with acute rhinitis. Initial symptoms include dry throat, itching, slight pain, burning sensation and foreign body sensation. Severe cases are accompanied by fever, headache, loss of appetite and general discomfort.

3. Chronic pharyngitis:

Because the disease progresses slowly and the lesion site is hidden, it is often difficult to make a clear diagnosis in the early stages. Carefully examine the pharynx based on clinical manifestations, and use fiberoptic nasopharyngeal endoscopy for patients with pharyngeal inversion sensitivity or who cannot cooperate with the examination.

4. Chronic simple pharyngitis:

It manifests as chronic congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa;

5. Hypertrophic pharyngitis:

The main manifestations are congestion and hypertrophy of the pharyngeal mucosa, and extensive hyperplasia of connective tissue and lymphatic tissue under the mucosa;

6. Atrophic pharyngitis:

The main manifestations are atrophy and thinning of the mucosal layer and submucosal layer, crust attachment to the posterior pharyngeal wall, and reduced secretion.

7. Viral pharyngitis:

The lesion is edema and swelling of epithelial cells, which causes the spinous cell layer of the epidermis to bulge and form blisters containing a large number of multinuclear leukocytes and serum. There are eosinophilic inclusion bodies in the cell nuclei. The blisters quickly rupture to form a shallow ulcer covered with inflammatory cells, red blood cells or necrotic tissue on the surface.

8. Streptococcal pharyngitis:

The disease has an acute onset, with severe systemic and pharyngeal symptoms. After the infection occurs, the mucosa becomes acutely congested and swollen, the secretion of mucous glands increases, and the mucosal surface is covered with thick mucus. This was followed by chills, high fever, headache, general discomfort, loss of appetite, and pain in the back and limbs.

9. Acute pharyngitis:

It is an acute inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa, submucosal and lymphatic tissue. The onset is acute, with dryness and burning sensation in the throat at first, followed by pain, which worsens when swallowing and may radiate to the ears.
