What causes a sore throat?
A sore throat can have many causes. Some of these are listed below:
Many common viruses, and even the viruses that cause mononucleosis (mono) and the flu, can cause a sore throat. Some of the viruses that cause a sore throat can produce blisters in the mouth and throat ("aphthous stomatitis").
Breathing through the mouth can produce throat dryness and soreness.
Sinus drainage may cause a sore throat.
A sore throat can also be caused by bacteria. The two most common bacteria to cause as sore throat are Streptococcus (which causes strep throat) and Arcanobacterium haemolyticum. Arcanobacterium causes sore throats mainly in young adults and is sometimes associated with a fine red rash.
A sore throat that lasts for more than 2 weeks can be a sign of a serious illness, such as throat cancer or AIDS.
The treatment of pharyngitis will vary according to the cause.
Lozenges (cough medicine) are often used for short-term pain relief.
Antibiotics are only helpful when a bacterial infection is the cause of the sore throat. For bacterial sore throats, antibiotics have been shown to only affect the degree of pain by day 4 and shorten the average natural duration by 16 hours overall (14 people need be treated for a week to reduce the duration by one day)[6].
Gargling with warm salty water is a popular household remedy, although there is only anecdotal evidence this gives other than temporary relief and likewise for the use of aspirin gargles.
Warm tea can help temporarily alleviate the pain of a sore throat.
