Understanding sore throat
Pharyngitis and tonsillitis are the medical terms for a painful, irritated throat that hurts most on swallowing. Viruses cause most cases, and a minority are due to bacteria such as streptococcus.
Causes and risk factors
Common causes are viral infections, bacteria, dry air-conditioned rooms, allergy and smoke or other irritants.
Local tips for sore throat in Cappadocia
Cappadocia’s dawn balloon flights and rocky valleys bring cold early starts, dust and uneven paths. Dust, wind and dry air on excursions irritate the throat. Carry water and cover your face in dusty areas.
Travel guide to Cappadocia
The name Cappadocia comes from the ancient Persian Katpatuka. Tourist tip: take an early-morning hot-air balloon flight, hike the rock valleys, tour an underground city and shop for pottery and carpets.
Avoiding sore throat on holiday
Wash hands commonly, avoid sharing drinks and cutlery, stay hydrated and avoid smoky places and very dry air conditioning.
