Acute pharyngitis is sore throat caused by a virus organism almost 70% and a group A streptococcal bacteria is a common organism with respect to acute pharyngitis were then referred to as "Strep Throat" (Brunner & Suddarth, 2001)
Chronic pharyngitis usually occurs in adult individuals who work / live in a dusty environment, use of excessive sound, suffer from chronic cough, habitual use of alcohol and tobacco.
There are 3 types of pharyngitis:
- Hypertrophic (thickening of the common and congested mucous membrane of the pharynx).
- Atrophic (the later stages of the first type: a thin membrane, whitish, smooth and wrinkled time).
- Chronic granular (swelling of lymph follicles in the walls of the pharynx).
Acute Pain related to inflammation of the pharynx
Goal: expected, decrease pain
Expected outcomes: Children say:
- That pain is reduced.
- Adequate sleep and rest.
- Being able to use non-pharmacological methods to relieve pain.
- Perform a comprehensive pain assessment, including the location, characteristics, duration, frequency, quality factor and precipitation.
- Teach about non-pharmacological techniques (such as deep breath).
- Collaboration: Giving analgesics to reduce pain.
- Increase rest-sleep.
Rationale:
- Knowing the level of pain including the location, characteristics, duration, frequency, quality factor and precipitation.
- Deep breathing is one of relaxation to reduce tension and create a more comfortable feeling.
- Useful analgesic to relieve pain so that patients become more comfortable.
- Rest can relax so as to reduce the pain.
Hyperthermia related to inflammation of the pharynx.
Goal: expected normal body temperature.
Expected outcomes:
- Normal skin temperature.
- Body temperature.
Interventions:
- Assess body temperature every two hours.
- Encourage fluid intake and adequate nutrition.
- Give a warm compress for example in the armpit.
- Collaboration: Give antipyretic drugs.
- Knowing your child's temperature.
- Intake of fluids and nutrients can help speed the process of spending the body heat.
- Warm compresses can open the pores of the skin so as to accelerate the process of evaporation.
- Antipyretic drugs can help reduce the heat.
