Sore throat, also known as pharyngitis, is most commonly caused by viruses. They are sometimes caused by bacteria, although irritation of the pharynx (such as caused by a chemical, dry air, screaming, vomiting, smoking) is another frequent cause. Sore throat may also be caused by inflammation or infection of the surrounding tissues (such as the tonsils or adenoids) and rarely more acute problems such as Peritonsillar abscess or Epiglottitis.
