Sore throat or pharyngitis can occur due to many causes. Both viral and bacterial infections can cause sore throat. Prolonged breathing through the mouth, post-nasal drip caused by sinusitis and allergy can also give you a sore throat. Most cases of sore throat resolve in a short period of time. Self care measures such as gargles and lozenges ease your symptoms. Some cases of sore throat are caused by bacteria known as Streptococcus. Streptococcal sore throat should be treated with antibiotics to prevent the development of long term complications. It?s a good idea to learn when to contact a doctor if you have a sore throat.

Adenoids also contain cells that make antibodies to help our body fight infections.
