A member asked:
Is it possible to have a mild sore throat without it actually being sore or having anything inflamed? can anxiety bring on a sore throat? no other symptoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't think: anxiety would be high on the list of things causing a sore throat.As you allude to, infection is the usual cause, usually viral which resolves without specific treatment. Bacterial sore throat requires antibiotics but there is usually fever and REDNESS.Acid reflux from stomach can cause sore throat, as can dry air, allergies, smoking, post-nasal drip.Try gargling with salt water; it should resolve
