A sore throat (pharyngitis) is inflammation and irritation of the throat, commonly caused by viral infections like rhinovirus, influenza, and adenovirus, or bacterial infections such as Streptococcus pyogenes. Environmental irritants, allergies, acid reflux, vocal strain, and smoking may also trigger throat inflammation. Patients experience pain, burning, dryness, difficulty swallowing, swollen glands, hoarseness, and sometimes fever. Severe cases may involve tonsillar swelling, exudation, or radiating pain to the ears. Most cases are self-limiting but can become recurrent or chronic due to untreated infections or low immunity.

Homoeopathy individualises sore throat based on the nature of pain (burning, stitching, rawness), modalities (better/worse from cold, warm drinks, swallowing), associated symptoms (fever, congestion, ear pain), and the patient’s general constitution. Remedies target acute inflammation, recurrent tonsillitis tendency, sensitivity to weather, chronic mucosal weakness, and immune susceptibility. Homoeopathy not only relieves the acute throat pain but also prevents frequent recurrences by addressing underlying predispositions.
