Anapharyngeal abscess is an inflammation of the lymph nodes. The main cause of the development of the disease in children is an infection, the focus of which can be any disease, beginning with otitis, ending with acute respiratory viral infection or influenza. In the pharynx space, the infection gets through the lymphatic ways, and weakened immunity only contributes to this.

In adults, the main cause of the retropharyngeal abscess is damage to the pharynx. In fact, the injury is not so difficult: you can scratch a fish bone or rough food. Often on the throat there are wounds after bronchial or gastroscopy. Sometimes an abscess is an aftereffect of a severe form of purulent sore throat . As in the case of children, in adults with reduced immunity the disease will develop more intensively.
