In over 90% of cases, sore throats are caused by viruses, with only 10% having bacterial origins. This means that antibiotics often have no effect, as they are only effective against bacteria. In many instances, sore throats are triggered by cold stimuli and dry indoor air. These triggers can weaken the protective function of the throat and pharyngeal mucosa, making them more susceptible to viruses. The consequences can include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, coughing, and hoarseness. It's good to know that intense vocal strain can also lead to a scratchy, hoarse voice, just like rising stomach acid, which can also cause irritation in the throat area.
