What is Sore Throat?

A sore throat is that raw, scratchy feeling that often stings when you swallow. It's usually caused by a cold or another virus doing the rounds, and it tends to clear up on its own within a week. Simple things like warm drinks and rest can make it more bearable. But if it lingers or comes with a high fever, it's worth getting checked.
