How does a sore throat develop?
A sore throat can be triggered by a virus or other source of irritation.
When this happens, the body's natural response is inflammation, which helps protect the affected area.
This inflammation can cause symptoms such as pain, redness, swelling and discomfort when swallowing.
Not all sore throat treatments work in the same way
Many people think that sore throat pain is caused by germs.
However, the symptoms they experience, such as pain, redness and swelling, are often associated with inflammation.
That's why different sore throat treatments work in different ways. Some focus on temporarily soothing, while others help reduce inflammation associated with sore throat pain.
