Can you tell me how long should pharyngitis last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pharyngitis: It depends on the cause. Strep will resolve within a week even if it is untreated. With treatment, it will generally get better within 48 hrs. Viral pharyngitis will also usually resove within a week. Mono will last longer and can be more severe.
