Perhaps, there is not a single person who has not experienced a lot of discomfort when the throat hurts. We are used to the fact that this symptom indicates SARS, in fact, there can be many reasons.
A sore throat can be of a different nature: pressing or aching, stabbing or cutting, sharp or dull. These sensations can also be constant or pulsating, rising or falling. In some cases, the throat hurts from the outside, and can be localized on the right, on the left, moreover, it can manifest itself only at certain times of the day. You can find out the reason why such unpleasant sensations appeared by visiting a doctor after a thorough diagnosis has been carried out.
So, sore throat can be due to infectious causes or
non-infectious.
The first factors are associated primarily with the ingress of viruses and bacteria into the human body. In most cases, when the throat hurts, it is caused by viral causes, since these diseases are transmitted from person to person through the air and droplets of saliva. The presence of the describedsymptoms can be caused by: influenza, infectious mononucleosis, colds, measles, chickenpox, parainfluenza. In some cases, bacteria are to blame. This genesis have such diseases as: chlamydia, diphtheria, streptococcal infections, gonorrhea, mycoplasmosis. With viral and bacterial etiology, other signs also occur, for example, the throat hurts, the ears are blocked, the bones hurt, the nose does not breathe.
Allergic reactions have a non-infectious nature, for example, to pollen, wool … In this case, the appearance of red spots on the skin, swelling of the face, and so on can be added to the painful sensations. Another reason may be vegeto-
vascular dystonia. In this case, a kind of “lump” appears in the throat, which causes a lot of discomfort. Smoky air and smog lead to irritation in the upper respiratory tract. As a result, there is a cough, including a sore throat. Muscle tension, injuries, tumors can lead to the fact that there are unpleasant sensations when swallowing, itching.
In addition to the described reasons that directly affect the fact that the throat hurts, there are other factors that contribute to the appearance of this symptom. Most often, by themselves, they cannot cause discomfort, but if there are other reasons, they aggravate the situation. Let's focus on some
factors.
Adults are less susceptible to this disease than children, because, for example, in children under five years old, a disease such aspharyngeal abscess. In this case, inflammation affects the lymph nodes. At an older age, they usually disappear. Another factor is smoking: harmful tars and other hazardous chemicals irritate the mouth and throat. Being in a poorly ventilated room makes it much easier for viruses and bacteria to enter another organism. In the event that the humidity is also lowered, then it is much more difficult for him to repel a malicious attack.
As we can see, there are many reasons why the throat hurts. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is worth determining what exactly caused the discomfort in the throat. However, vitamin C, chicken broth and a large amount of liquid in any case will not hurt, and will help the body fight.
