SORE throats are common this time of year \u2014 but some may be more sinister than they seem.<\/p>\n

As the cold weather causes a drop in immune systems, more and more people will catch viral infections that can leave them with a tickly throat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, A&E visits caused by the problem surged 77 per cent to 340,441 last year.<\/p>\n

It was up from 190,900 in 2021\/22, when Covid restrictions still meant fewer people were catching infections.<\/p>\n

Abbas Kanani, superintendent pharmacist of Chemist Click, said that while most cases of sore throat are relatively harmless, they can occasionally be a sign of serious infections.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cA severe or long-lasting sore throat could be down to strep throat, a bacterial throat infection.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, some cases can be more serious and require immediate attention.<\/p>\n

Infections are most common in children but can happen in adults.<\/p>\n

The NHS recommends you call 999 or go to A&E if your child has difficulty breathing \u2013 they may make grunting noises, or you may notice their tummy sucking under their ribs.<\/p>\n

Other serious symptoms include their skin going blue or grey, pausing between breathing and their body going floppy.<\/p>\n

Antibiotics are used to treat most infections.<\/p>\n

Mr Kanani said: \u201cThey should only be used if the pain is not bearable or symptoms are lasting longer than a few days. As this can lead to antibiotic resistance.<\/p>\n

"If you are prescribed antibiotics, make sure to complete the course.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, sore throats can be a sign of a range of other infections that are less dangerous.<\/p>\n

Mr Kanani said: \u201cGenerally, sore throats are very common and usually nothing to worry about. They normally get better by themselves within a week.<\/p>\n

\u201cSore throats are usually a result of viral infection. Paracetamol can help to relieve pain, as well as anaesthetic sprays which can help to numb the pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGargling with warm salt water can also help, but is more of a home remedy.\u201d<\/p>\n
