About Sore Throat (the broader symptom)

This summary describes Sore Throat, the broader symptom. Recurring Sore Throat is a more specific topic.

Your throat is a tube that carries food to your esophagus and air to your windpipe and larynx (also called the voice box). The technical name for the throat is pharynx.

You can have a sore throat for many reasons. Often, colds and flu cause sore throats. Other causes can include:

Allergies

Mononucleosis

Smoking

Strep throat

Tonsillitis

Treatment depends on the cause. Sucking on lozenges, drinking lots of liquids, and gargling may ease the pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help, but children should not take aspirin.
