/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/sore-throats CCC what-we-treat CCC cold-flu-rtis CCC sore-throats ** ** ## What is a sore throat? A sore throat (sometimes referred to as 'pharyngitis') is a fairly common condition. It’s when your throat feels all scratchy and it may be painful to talk or swallow. It’s usually caused by a [viral infection](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/viral-infection), but can sometimes be caused by the streptococcus bacteria. A sore throat is often a symptom of a broader medical issue, such as a cold or the flu, but it can occur on its own too. Sore throats don’t tend to last very long and most people will recover fully within a week. However, if your sore throat isn't going away or is particularly uncomfortable, our doctors are on hand to help. ** ** ## Symptoms Some of the most common sore throat symptoms include: - a scratchy sensation in your throat - pain and/or discomfort when swallowing or talking - swollen or tender glands in your neck - your tonsils may look red and swollen - there may be white pus on your tonsils - you may lose your voice Depending on what’s causing the sore throat, you may also experience: - a runny or blocked nose - [headache](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/headaches-and-migraines/headaches) - [cough](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/coughs) - sneezing - [high temperature](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/fever) - muscle aches and pains - tiredness - nausea or vomiting If it’s a child with a sore throat, they may also: - have a high temperature - Show signs of [lethargy](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/sleep-disorder/lethargic), or be more tired than normal ** ** ## Causes Sore throats can be either viral, bacterial or caused by another condition. In most cases, a virus is to blame. Viruses and bacteria are passed from person-to-person by direct contact, such as coughs and sneezes, or indirect contact, such as touching a surface that's been touched by an infected person. Some causes of a sore throat include: - [the flu](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/flu) - [a cold](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/cold) - measles - [chickenpox](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/skin-conditions/chickenpox) - mumps - mononucleosis - laryngitis - [tonsillitis](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/tonsillitis) - glandular fever - strep throat - [allergies](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/allergies) - exposure to irritants, such as smoke - [GORD](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/digestive-problems/gord) - croup - which is common in children and babies ** ** ## Diagnosis Often, a sore throat will go away on its own after a few days to a week without the need to see a GP for a diagnosis or treatment. However, if there’s no improvement after a week, you should see a GP. Likewise, if your sore throat keeps coming back, it is severe, or if you have other symptoms you’re worried about, such as a high temperature, you can see a GP. You should also seek medical advice if you have a weakened immune system, as you are more at risk of complications from a sore throat. Our GPs can listen to your symptoms over a video consultation and take a look at your throat before providing a diagnosis. **If you start coughing up blood, have chest pain, are drooling, have breathing or swallowing difficulties, are making a high-pitched wheezing sound as you breathe, or are deteriorating rapidly, go to A&E or call 999 urgently. ** ** ** ## Treatment Often, treatment from a doctor isn’t needed for a sore throat, as it will go away on its own, usually within a few days to a week. There are things you can do at home to help ease your symptoms, including: - taking over-the-counter pain medication (only use medication for children if it’s a child who has a sore throat) - gargling with warm salt water (this isn’t suitable for children) - drinking plenty of fluids - cold fluids may sooth the pain - resting your voice - getting plenty of sleep and rest - sucking on throat lozenges, hard boiled sweets or even ice cubes (this isn’t suitable for children as there is a choking risk) - avoiding smoky environments, and not smoking yourself - using a humidifier in your home to keep the air moist - using an anaesthetic spray to numb the back of your throat - these are available from a pharmacy Antibiotics will only be prescribed if your sore throat is caused by a bacterial infection, and at the doctor's discretion. Strep throat is generally more painful and lasts longer than a sore throat caused by a virus. ## Related articles ### [![](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/flu-jab-2.jpg) Should you get a flu jab this winter?](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/articles/should-you-get-a-flu-jab-this-winter) ### [![](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/Freshers-Flu.jpg) Power Through Your Fresher’s Flu](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/articles/power-through-your-freshers-flu) ### [![](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/home-remedies/Homemade-cough-relieving-tea-nb.jpg) Homemade Cough-relieving Tea - Home Remedies](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/articles/homemade-cough-relieving-tea) ### [![christmas-cold.jpg](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/Blog_Images/christmas-cold.jpg) 7 ways to fend off the Christmas cold](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/what-we-treat/cold-flu-rtis/articles/7-ways-to-fend-off-the-christmas-cold) ### **NHS - trained and registered doctors Every one of our doctors is registered with the General Medical Council and can be found on the NHS National Performers List, so you know you are only ever receiving the best possible care and advice.

Once your consultation is complete, our team will search for the closest pharmacy to you which has your medication available. We'll then send you a text when your prescription is ready to collect. To collect your medication, simply hear to the nominated pharmacy to collect and pay for your prescription. You will need to take a valid form of ID to show the pharmacist when you arrive. This process is almost always done within the same day of your consultation. ![close button](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/SVGs/close-black.svg) ### **Instant fit (sick) notes Our GPs can send a sick/fit note directly to you if necessary following an online consultation. These can be sent directly by email or first-class post. Fit notes include recommendations about how and when you'll be able to return to work or education, or whether you're able to return to work with amended duties (e.g no heavy lifting or reduced hours). They can also contain detailed advice about managing your medical issue in the workplace. ![close button](https://www.pushdoctor.co.uk/hubfs/SVGs/close-black.svg) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "MedicalCondition", "alternateName" : "Sore Throat", "code" : { "@type" : "MedicalCode", "code" : "R07.0", "codingSystem" : "ICD-10-CM" }, "differentialDiagnosis" : { "@type" : "DDxElement", "diagnosis" : { "@type" : "MedicalCondition", "name" : "Sore Throat" }, "distinguishingSign" : [ { "@type" : "MedicalSymptom", "name" : "A sore throat (sometimes referred to as 'pharyngitis') is a fairly common condition.
