The warm membrane lining of the throat provides the right environment for bacteria and viruses to flourish. As a result, the membrane becomes inflamed, making the throat sore.
When you have a sore throat, the right treatment will quickly get you back to a normal life. Most often, you need to soothe the throat to feel better. Many treatments are prescribed based on what caused your sore throat. The most common cause is a virus, but some sore throats are bacterial.

To help determine what the cause of your sore throat is, you will go through tests before receiving advice and treatment.
