Throat irritation: Throat symptoms can be caused for various reasons. Allergies and viral infections the most common. Most bacterial infections will be associated with more pain and swelling. Common things to help alleviate or prevent would include taking vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin D3. Keep hydrated and consider a home humidifier. Indoor air allergens can worsen during the winter and looking into an air purifier.
