Overview
The sore throat was first described in the literature as 'some variants of sore throat' in the year 1879 by R. L. Bowles, M.D., in the British Medical Journal. Later, in 1885, David Newman, M.D., described pathology, symptoms, and treatment of pharyngitis.In 1910, the importance of bacteriological tests was shown in doubtful cases of pharyngitis. In 1931, three case reports were described and inferred that chronic non-tuberculous bronchial disease such as influenza, whooping cough, and measles is associated with chronic nasopharyngitis and also described the importance of conservative treatment in chronic nasopharyngitis.
