Sore throat or pharyngitis is a common problem with infection in the nasal congestion. Although this is our common definition of this pain and loss of voice coming from our throat, there are causes of it. Understanding what caused pharyngitis is just a move to learn how to apply natural pain relief using home remedies. Below are just some of the common cause of sore throat:

1. Shouting in frequent intervals and over stress or stretching of the vocal chords can lead to sore throat.

2. Common flu virus can cause sore throat as coughing may produce blisters in the mouth.

3. Did you know that over breathing in the mouth without proper lubrication by drinking water can also cause throat dryness and soreness?

4. Sinus drainage (post nasal drip) may cause a sore throat.

5. Bacteria also causes sore throat and the two most common bacteria responsible for this are Streptococcus and Arcanobacterium haemolyticum.

6. Treatment with chemotherapy, antibiotics or other immune-compromising medications may cause sore throat. This is due to Candida, commonly known as “thrush.”

Reminder: A sore throat that comes on and off or that which lasts for more than two weeks can be a sign of a serious illness, such as throat cancer or AIDS.

If you have health problems such as heart disease or high blood pressure, contact your health care professional before using these products.
