What is Sore Throat?
A sore throat is a painful, scratchy or irritated condition of the throat that worsens when you swallow. The most common known cause of sore throat is a viral infection such as a cold or flu. A sore throat is caused by a virus that resolves on its own.
Strep throat on the other hand is a less common type of throat infection caused by bacteria and requires treatment to prevent complications. Other less common causes of sore throat may need more complex treatment.
