Seasonal changes or travelling to another place with different geography, or relishig on few scoops of ice cream or can of beer in cold chilly winters, SORE THROAT is always at the corner to spoil your days for weeks and months in some cases…
A sore throat typically happens due to irritation, inflammation, or infection of the throat tissues, primarily the pharynx or the tonsils. Here’s a breakdown of the process involved and why it occurs
Initial Exposure: The throat is exposed to an irritant, pathogen (virus or bacteria), or other triggers. These foreign agents interact with the mucosal cells lining the throat.
Activation of Immune Response:
- The immune system detects these harmful agents and activates defense mechanisms.
- White blood cells and inflammatory chemicals (like cytokines) are released to fight the invaders.
Inflammation:
- The release of inflammatory chemicals causes the throat tissues to swell and become red.
- This inflammation leads to irritation, pain, and sometimes difficulty swallowing.
Production of Mucus:
- In response to the irritant or infection, the throat glands may produce excess mucus, causing postnasal drip or congestion.
- Mucus can coat the throat, contributing to the scratchy feeling.
Symptoms Manifest:
- Pain, itchiness, or burning sensations develop due to inflammation.
- You may also feel hoarseness, a dry throat, or swollen lymph nodes as the immune system works to eliminate the cause.
