A Sore Throat refers to pain or irritation in the throat, often from viral infections (colds, flu), bacterial infections (strep throat), allergies, or acid reflux. Symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, redness, and swollen tonsils. Viral sore throats resolve with rest, hydration, and soothing remedies, while bacterial infections require antibiotics. Persistent sore throats should be evaluated for underlying conditions.
