About sore throat
A sore throat (pharyngitis or tonsillitis) is pain, irritation or scratchiness in the throat that is often worse when swallowing. Viruses cause most cases, and a minority are due to bacteria such as streptococcus.
Why sore throat happens
Colds and flu viruses, bacterial infection, dry air from air conditioning, allergies and irritants such as cigarette smoke can all inflame the throat.
How sore throat is treated
Your doctor looks at your symptoms and any signs of throat infection, judges whether antibiotics are likely to help, and recommends pain relief and care while you recover. Treatment can involve painkillers, lozenges and, only if a bacterial cause is likely, antibiotics.
- Rest your voice and stay hydrated
