Itis means inflammation of. So pharyngitis means inflammation of the Pharynx. An acute inflammation means not chronic ( having a flare up) ,which usually does not lead to a chronic condition. Having said that , even in a chronic condition a person can at times have an acute episode within their chronic state.
So the answer is a bad infection ( usually!) causing an inflamed Pharynx. Which would normally clear up.
