Hi,
Pharyngitis is inflammation of the pharynx, it is usually due to an acute/recent onset infection.
It does not usually last this period of time so your symptoms and signs may be due to another cause, this should be assessed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
