Viral Pharyngitis (Sore Throat)
Your throat pain is due to an infection called "Viral Pharyngitis", commonly known as "Sore Throat". This is a contagious illness. It is spread through the air by coughing, kissing or by touching others after touching your mouth or nose. Symptoms include throat pain worse with swallowing, aching all over, headache and fever. Unlike strep throat, which is a bacterial infection, this illness does not require treatment with an antibiotic.
