Sore Throat Everything you need to know!
  • A sore throat might sound like a standard
    ailment, but it accounts for more than 13
    million visits to healthcare facilities each
    year. A sore throat is unbearable scratchiness or
    irritation of the throat that worsens while
    swallowing. Common causes of sore throat are
    viral infections like flu and cold. If a virus
    attack causes a sore throat, then it will resolve
    on its own.

  • Pharyngitis- It affects the part right behind the
