Sore Throats are mainly caused by infections from viruses and bacteria, but allergies and sinus infections can also contribute. When you have a sore throat, it can affect speaking, swallowing, or breathing. Some sore throats are worse than others. If you have a sore throat lasting more than five to ten days, you should see your doctor.
