#Sore Throat
Today my topic is on #Sorethroat problem. Most of the peoples are worrying about this I will try to give solutions. A #sore #throat is a painful, dry, or scratchy feeling in the throat. Pain in the throat is of the most common symptoms. It accounts for more than 13 million visits to doctor’s offices each year (1Trusted Source). Most sore throats are caused by infections, or by environmental factors like dry air. Although a sore throat can be uncomfortable, it’ll usually go away on its own. Sore throats are divided into types, based on the part of the throat they affect: • Pharyngitis affects the area right behind the mouth. • Tonsillitis is swelling and redness of the tonsils, the soft tissue in the back of the mouth. • Laryngitis is swelling and redness of the voice box, or larynx. Sore throat symptoms The symptoms of a sore throat can vary depending on what caused it. A sore throat can feel: • scratchy • burning • raw • dry • tender • irritated It may hurt more when you swallow or talk. Your throat or tonsils might also look red. Sometimes, white patches or areas of pus will form on the tonsils. These white patches are more common in strep throat than in a sore throat caused by a virus. Along with the sore throat, you can have symptoms like: • nasal congestion • runny nose • sneezing • cough • fever • chills • swollen glands in the neck • hoarse voice • body aches • headache • trouble swallowing • appetite • Homoeopathic medicines • Aconitum . For sore throats that come on suddenly after exposure to cold and are accompanied by a high fever and thirst; this remedy works best if given immediately after symptoms begin. • Apis mellifica . ... • Arsenicum album . ... • Belladonna . ... • Hepar sulphuricum . ... • Lachesis . ... • Lycopodium . ... • Mercurius .
