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.

Symptoms of a Throat Infection

You should seek a throat infection assessment in Manchester if you experience:

Severe or ongoing throat pain
Pain or difficulty when swallowing
Red or swollen tonsils, with or without white patches
Swollen glands in the neck or jaw
Fever or high temperature
Headache or body aches
