Most sore throats are caused by viruses, like a cold or flu. Other causes are allergies, exposure to pollution, mouth-breathing during sleep, and smoking. More serious sore throats include tonsillitis, strep, and the kissing disease (mononucleosis).
Sore throats caused by common viruses may last three to ten days and will resolve on their own. More serious types may last longer even with treatment.
A sore throat often improves with or without at-home treatment. But if it’s accompanied by a fever that reaches 101°F or more, sleeping problems, or a red rash, you should see your doctor immediately.
If it hurts to swallow and it interferes with eating and talking, you should seek medical care so a doctor can prescribe medication to relieve or treat sore throat.
