A sore throat can often be one of the earliest signs that your body is responding to an infection or irritation. It may be caused by viral infections like the common cold or flu, bacterial infections, allergies, dry air, or even excessive voice strain.
Common symptoms include discomfort when swallowing, dryness, scratchiness, or a burning sensation in the throat. It may also be accompanied by fever, cough, or swollen glands in some cases.
What you can do:
• Stay hydrated with warm fluids to soothe the throat
• Get enough rest to support recovery
• Avoid irritants like smoke, dust, and very cold drinks
• Maintain good hygiene to prevent spreading infections
If symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek proper medical advice for the right treatment.
