Not Always a Simple Cold
Frequent sore throats may be caused by bacteria, allergies, or acid reflux.

Chronic Pharyngitis is Real
If a sore throat keeps coming back or lasts longer than 10 days, it may need medical attention.

Watch for Warning Signs
Hoarseness, lumps, swallowing problems, or weight loss can signal serious issues.

Hidden Triggers
Allergies, pollution, or reflux often irritate the throat without obvious symptoms.

Tests Make a Difference
Lab tests such as throat swabs, CBC, and allergy panels help detect the root cause.
