<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi doctor, my throat hurts and Im having difficulty swallowing. I think I might have pharyngitis.  <response>: Okay, well need to do an examination of your throat to confirm the diagnosis. Well also do a depression screen to see if your symptoms may be related to underlying mental health issues. Nebulizer therapy may be helpful to ease any difficulty breathing. Excision or removal of the affected area may also be necessary depending on the severity of the infection. However, a rectal examination, corneal transplant, and procedures on the spleen are not related to pharyngitis and will not be required.
