Abscess Retropharyngeal

Abscess per pharynx (BAP). A. retrophyngeal is a small round pocket or sac containing pus. It may appear as an isolated abscess or in combination with other infections. The BAP is a small depression above the base of the tongue that can be felt and seen when the mouth is open. It may also be detected by tenderness and swelling near the pharyngeal space. In some cases, it is accompanied by a sore throat. In children, BAP is more common. Abscesses can appear at any age, but they are common in teenagers because this is an area where hormonal changes occur. Typical cases are when the throat or oral cavity is damaged during a fight, playing football or playing the pipe, after removal of tonsils, when the upper lip and nasal cavities are punctured. Damaging and scratching these areas can result in postpharyngeal ablation. Although an abscess is most often caused by bacteria and sometimes viruses, careful examination and testing is required to determine the cause. Treatment for a sore throat usually involves broad-spectrum antibiotics, combined with steroids, which can help reduce the infection. Gargling, flushing, applying heat, using humidifiers and airway cushions, and drinking fluids may also be prescribed.

A posterior pharynx abscess (A. retrophenoid) is a swelling that is located between the base of the skull and the neck. A. retropofineal is one of the most common diseases of the head and neck. Neck pain, increased neck tension, fever and jaw pain are symptoms of an abscess behind the pharynx. Any abscess behind the smooth can lead to serious complications and require emergency medical intervention. That is why I would like to highlight the main points.
