What is sore throat?

Causes and risk factors
Common causes are viral infections, bacteria, dry air-conditioned rooms, allergy and smoke or other irritants.
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 painkillers and care while you recover. Typical choices are painkillers, lozenges and, only if a bacterial cause is likely, antibiotics.
- Gargle with warm salt water
