Chronic pharyngitis is caused by a combination of factors, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections; environmental irritants; and underlying medical conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd). the irritation of the throat tissue can lead to inflammation, which can cause swelling, redness, and pain. this can result in a persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and hoarseness. in some cases, chronic pharyngitis can also cause chronic cough and postnasal drip.
