A member asked:

I have been stressed and yelling all day, can that cause a sudden sore throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Of course: Of course yelling all day can cause a sore, irritated throat. I would recommend you worry more about why you are so stressed and need to yell. You may want to see a therapist to evaluate and talk about your situation. Exercise and relaxation with deep breathing can be helpful as well. Good luck.
