What is sore throat? What causes sore throat?
Sore throat is an inflammation of the fauces and pharynx. Contagious bacterial or viral infections cause the inflammation. Also known as pharyngitis or tonsillitis, it is a disease primarily located in the area around the tonsils. A sore throat is partly a disease in itself and partly an effect of other diseases, such as flu and glandular fever.
Among the bacteria that cause sore throats, the streptococcus group A is the most common, and often referred to as a 'STREP THROAT'. The incubation period between picking up the infection until the disease breaks out, is from 1 to 4 days.
The symptoms are pain in the throat and difficulty in swallowing, throat is reddish, the tonsils maybe swollen and may be coated. Possibly a high temperature with swallen lymph nodes under your jaw and in your neck, and maybe sour breath and one may feel quite ill. If the sore throat is due to the less common Coxsackie virus, then small blisters may develop on the tonsils and in the soft palate. The blisters erupt in a few days and are followed by a scab which may be very painful. Most of the time the soreness is worse in the morning and improves as the day progresses. Sore throats are common, with most people in the world getting a sore throat once in their life time, however its common to get a sore throat 1 to 3 times a year, especially young children, who seem to spread and catch it easily mostly from close contact in schools.
Sometimes breathing through the mouth will cause a sore throat in the absence of any infection. During the months of dry winter air, some people will wake up with a sore throat most mornings. This usually disappears after having something to drink which lubricates the throat again.
