'''For an overview of respiratory infections see [[Respiratory System Inflammation - Pathology]]'''
*'''Pharyngitis''' is often a part of upper respiratory and/or alimentary inflammation
*May cause
**Obstruction to airflow
**[[Lungs - inflammatory#Aspiration pneumonia|Aspiration pneumonia]]
*Acute inflammation passes through the same stages as in [[Nasal cavity - inflammatory#Rhinitis|rhinitis]]
*In '''pigs''', foreign material may lodge in the '''posterior diverticulum''' of the pharynx and cause inflammation, potentially perforation (also accidental in sheep during drenching) and fatal cellulitis
**Inability to [[Deglutition|swallow]] due to the swelling may also be fatal
*In young thoroughbred '''horses''' [[Nasopharynx - hyperplastic and neoplastic#Pharyngeal lymphoid hyperplasia|equine chronic pharyngitis and lymphoid hyperplasia]] occurs due to chronic exposure to infection
