Sore Throat Overview

Sore throats are usually named for the anatomical site affected.

• Pharyngitis: The pharynx, the area of your throat directly behind your mouthand soft palate, is a common hallway for food, liquids, and air. Swallowing safely delivers solids and liquids to the stomach through the esophagus. Pharyngitis is pain and inflammation of the pharynx.

• Tonsillitis: Tonsillitis typically involves inflammation of the tonsils (tonsils are located on either side of the base of the tongue).

• Laryngitis: The larynx, the top portion of your windpipe (trachea), has an important gatekeeper function. It allows passage of air in and out of the lungs(through the trachea), but bars the entry of solids and liquids. Sound production at the vocal cords is an important side job of the larynx. Laryngitis is pain and inflammation of the larynx (often associated with a hoarse voice).Croup is a form of laryngitis in children (it tends to be associated with a seal bark cough and difficulty inhaling air).

• Epiglottitis: This rare type of sore throat is inflammation of the epiglottis (a tall semitubular structure at the opening to the larynx separating it from the base of the tongue).

What causes a sore throat?

A sore throat can have many causes including:

Common viruses, including the viruses that cause mononucleosis (mono) and the flu. Some viruses can also produce blisters in the mouth and throat ("aphthous stomatitis").

Breathing through the mouth or smoking can produce throat dryness and soreness.

Sinus drainage (post nasal drip)

Bacterial infections. The two most common bacteria to cause a sore throat are Streptococcus (which causes strep throat) and Arcanobacterium haemolyticum. Arcanobacterium causes sore throats mainly in young adults and is sometimes associated with a fine redrash.

Sore throat appearing after treatment with antibiotics,chemotherapy, or other immune-compromising medications may be due to the yeast Candida, a condition commonly known as "thrush."

A sore throat lasting for more than two weeks can be a sign of a serious illness, such as throat cancer or AIDS.

What are the symptoms of a sore throat?

Symptoms of sore throat usually include a painful burning or scratching sensation in the back of the throat, pain when swallowing, and sometimes tenderness in the neck.

Other symptoms that may accompany a sore throat include:

• Coughing
• Sneezing
• Hoarseness or laryngitis
• Runny nose
• Mild fever
• General fatigue
• Swollen lymph nodes (glands) in the neck
• Bad breath (halitosis)
