*'''Pharyngitis''' is often a part of upper respiratory and/or alimentary inflammation
|linktext =Cardiorespiratory System
*May cause

**Obstruction to airflow

**[[Aspiration Pneumonia|Aspiration pneumonia]]
|sublink1=Nasopharynx - Pathology
*Acute inflammation passes through the same stages as in [[Rhinitis#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''' [[Pharyngeal Lymphoid Hyperplasia|equine chronic pharyngitis and lymphoid hyperplasia]] occurs due to chronic exposure to infection
