Are SOME causes of a sore throat.
IF you are concerned about your throat or health, you should go and see a qualified medical practitioner (a Doctor) for an examination, diagnosis and possible treatment.
Streptococci
There are many possible causes of sore throat, ranging from viral infections to allergies to environmental irritants. 🩺 Some common causes of sore throat include the common cold, the flu, strep throat, sinus infections, postnasal drip, and allergies. It's important to see a doctor if you have a sore throat that lasts for more than a week or if you have any other symptoms such as fever, headache, or difficulty breathing
Ear infections, thrush
Yes, living in polluted areas is one of the sore throat causes as the pollution can irritate the throat and the particles tend to settle onto the throat causing it to pain.
sturck throat
Does your throat feel raw and sore? If the answer is yes, you have a sore throat.
strep throat
Yes, but only if you aren't cleaning it properly. The reason for the sore throat, (especially after sleeping) is because the bacteria that latches onto the retainer stays if not properly cleaned and can go down into your throat along with your saliva, thereby irritating it which causes the sore throat.
Your throat (and tonsils if you still have them) are a 'safety net' - catching viruses and other bugs that would make their way into your lungs. The inflammation in a sore throat is simply the body's defences fighting the infection.
