Abstract:
Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a thyroid inflammatory disease, whose pathogenesis is still unclear. We report a 52-year-old female with SAT after the third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech). This case was documented with laboratory tests and ultrasound examination. She needed therapy during the acute phase and subsequently thyroxine supplementation.

Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
