What causes sore throat?

Throat pain is a common phenomenon, so if you want to solve it effectively, you should also pay attention to the analysis of the cause. It is common in acute pharyngitis, acute pharyngitis and mumps, etc. These are more caused by viral infections, so you should also pay attention to the prevention of these viruses.

(1) Throat swelling and pain are common in acute epiglottitis. Acute epiglottitis often has an acute onset and progresses rapidly, and may lead to sudden laryngeal obstruction and suffocation, which is life-threatening.

(2) Throat swelling and pain are common in acute laryngitis, which has obvious clinical characteristics. That is, at the same time as the throat swelling and pain, characteristic inspiratory stridor or croup-like cough often occurs, and in severe cases, it is accompanied by difficulty breathing. Laryngitis progresses rapidly and if not treated promptly, it can cause suffocation and be life-threatening. Therefore, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

It develops rapidly and is often accompanied by fever, headache, and general discomfort. If acute tonsillitis is not treated correctly, it may further develop into peritonsillitis or peritonsillar abscess, and may also cause diseases such as acute rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease, myocarditis, nephritis, or arthritis. Therefore, patients should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Patients with this disease are advised to rest in bed and take aspirin or aspirin substitutes to relieve discomfort. If the testicles are painful or swollen, it is possible that the testicles are also inflamed. In this case, anti-inflammatory drugs may be needed.
