Sore throat is an ailment that can strike anytime, anywhere. It usually sets in quickly, starting with a scratchy sensation in the throat. If not given immediate attention and proper treatment, a sore throat can easily progress from mild to severe and lead to complications as well as the possible infection of others. It is important to be wary of this disease, keeping in mind key information for better management and treatment of sore throat when it occurs.

Managing a sore throat starts with knowing its symptoms. Aside from a scratchy feeling in the throat, other common symptoms of sore throat include pain that worsens when talking or swallowing, redness in the back of the mouth, hoarseness of voice, and a mild cough.

“It’s important to look out for any of these signs so you can proactively nip a sore throat in the bud,” said otorhinolaryngologist, Dr. Teresa Luisa Cruz. “The earlier you do so, the less chances it’ll lead to more troubling health concerns such as serious infections, airway compromise (breathing problems), and late diagnosis of tumors.”

Brought on by either a viral or bacterial infection, a sore throat has, over the years, been typically treated using popular home remedies. These short-term fixes include gargling with saltwater solution, drinking ginger or honey tea, sucking on a clove of garlic, and steam inhalation. All of which provide only temporary relief instead of addressing the root cause of the sore throat. 

“As with any disease, a sore throat requires treatment that is science-backed and evidence-based,” added Dr. Cruz. “One good example is using a medicated mouthwash that contains Hexetidine, which works to reduce the concentration and infectivity of sore throat-causing viruses.”

Several studies in the past have confirmed Hexetidine’s therapeutic role in the treatment of oral infections and maintenance of good oral health. When compared to salt water, it was found that Hexetidine provides two times longer protection against sore throat-causing viruses.
