Causes

A sore throat is often a sign that you may have an infection caused by viruses. But there are other things that can irritate the throat, causing redness and swelling. These include cigarette smoke, a polluted environment, voice strain or even changes in air temperature.

Symptoms

The early signs of sore throat can be mild at rst. Watch out for dryness, discomfort when talking or swallowing, or a mild tickle. It can also be an early sign of a cold. Keep an eye out for cold symptoms such as headache, runny nose, or aches and pains.

Treatment

At the first sign of a sore throat, you can fight back with lozenges. Sucking lozenges increases saliva and lubricates the throat. Additionally, medicated lozenges like Cepacol provide numbing pain relief that other home remedies and cough drops simply cannot. This is particularly helpful when your sore throat causes swallowing or talking to be painful, or when you want to numb the sore throat pain to get on with your day.
