Causes of sore throat: a variety of origins

Pain in the throat, often localized to the tonsils or pharynx, can be caused by ..:

Viral infections: these are the most common cause, and include rhinoviruses, adenoviruses and coronaviruses. These infections are often associated with symptoms such as fever, runny nose or cough.
Bacterial infections: Rarer, they can be caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes, responsible for bacterial angina.
Irritating factors: Pollution, smoking, allergens or gastro-oesophageal reflux can also cause chronic throat irritation and pain.

Associated symptoms include difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), tingling, burning or pulling sensation, redness of the throat, dry cough and sometimes a hoarse voice. Although often benign, these symptoms require treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent possible complications.
