What Is a Throat Infection?
A throat infection happens when bacteria or viruses cause inflammation in the throat, tonsils or nearby tissues. Common throat infections we treat in Manchester include:
Pharyngitis (Sore Throat)
The back of the throat may become inflamed, most often due to viruses, though bacteria can sometimes cause it too.
Tonsillitis
Infection and swelling of the tonsils. Tonsillitis is common in children but also affects adults and can cause severe throat pain.
Strep Throat
Strep throat happens when group A Streptococcus bacteria infect the throat, and antibiotics are often needed.
Laryngitis
Swelling in the larynx may cause a raspy or absent voice, usually after a viral infection.
