  2. Whether you feel simple discomfort or pain, a sore throat is never pleasant. Sore throat is a frequent symptom whose origin can be multiple. It corresponds to pain felt in the pharynx, larynx, or tonsils. But what causes sore throat, and how to treat it? Keep reading this article to know in detail! What is the cause of a sore throat? Among the most common causes are viral infections and bacterial infections; however, they are not the only ones.

Among these diseases, you will find nasopharyngitis, more commonly known as the common cold, the flu, covid 19, laryngitis in children, primary infection with the herpes virus, or even viral angina.

  3. A bacterial infection- In the second position of the causes of sore throat, the bacteria whose main representative is the streptococcus responsible for bacterial angina. Bacteria lead to other diseases affecting the throat. Some are benign, like adult laryngitis, while others have a more severe prognosis, like epiglottitis, diphtheria, or whooping cough. Other causes- There are many other causes that can also lead to more or less severe sore throats: Over-solicitation of the voice (shouting or singing); snoring; a foreign body (fishbone); gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD ) ; la pollution ; respiratory allergies; inhalation of smoke or irritating chemicals.

  4. The different types of sore throat Sore throat when you swallow: It is not uncommon to have trouble swallowing in case of throat pain. All causes of sore throat can lead to difficulty swallowing. Sore throat on one side only: Most often, this can be due to a bacterial infection. If it is a bacterium, antibiotic Sore Throat Treatment should be considered. In some cases, this may be a sign of a more serious illness. It is best to consult a sore throat doctor when you experience these symptoms. Sore throat and ear: The back of the throat is connected to the middle ear by the Eustachian tube, so sometimes a sore throat is accompanied by pain in the ear. For example, tonsillitis can cause these symptoms.

  5. Sore throat with fever: Fever could be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. If it's angina, you might also feel glands. Sore throat without fever: This may be due to an ENT disorder, gastroesophageal reflux, or the beginning of an infection,... However, if you have other symptoms or the sore throat persists, do not hesitate to see a sore throat doctor. Sore throat and runny nose: it is not easy to deduce an illness based on these symptoms; a runny nose could correspond, for example, to a cold, covid, or flu. If you have other symptoms, this could help with the diagnosis. Persistent sore throat: A persistent or chronic sore throat can have many causes. It may be a simple ENT disorder, such as tonsillitis. It can also be a consequence of smoking, an allergy, or even a goiter if the pain is associated with swelling in the neck. When the pain seems to be localized to one side of your throat, it may be a sign of throat cancer. In case of persistent pain, it is advisable to consult an expert sore throat doctor. Sore throat without cough: All causes of sore throat can appear without cough, at least in the first few days. Watch for other symptoms.

  6. How to treat a sore throat? The sore throat symptom usually disappears after a few days of rest and with simple measures: Suck on lozenges available in pharmacies or simply candies (it is the production of saliva that calms inflammation); Use syrups or sprays also available in pharmacies to relieve pain (after medical advice in pregnant women or children); Take paracetamol in case of severe pain or fever (without exceeding the maximum doses and respecting the contraindications, and after medical advice in pregnant women); Avoiding food or drinks that are too hot and irritating; If the sore throat is accompanied by fever, the hypothesis of a viral or bacterial origin is preferred. If the fever lasts more than two days, it is recommended to consult a doctor quickly; your Throat Infection Treatment may require taking antibiotics to avoid complications.
