Relieve throat discomfort

Most sore throats are caused by viral infections, and some are caused by bacterial infections, such as strep throat. These infections can cause throat irritation, which can cause sore throat, redness, and severe infection can lead to pus. Other causes of sore throat or discomfort include allergies, smoking or air pollution, as the mouth or throat is affected by cold or dry air due to change of weather or change of seasons.
