Sore throat is a most frequent disorder, usually due to a cold or flu virus. Usually, sore throat recovers in a few weeks, but there are cases in which it can be persistent or even severe, making it necessary to consult an ENT specialist.
Symptoms That Might Need an ENT Consultation:
Severe or Persistent Sore Throat restricting eating, drinking or sleep, Difficulty Swallowing, Weight loss, Swollen Glands in the Neck, Persistent temperature, Blood in Your Saliva or Mucus, lump in throat, throat clearing, ear pain, and Hoarseness Lasting More Than 2 Weeks: Prolonged hoarseness can be the result of vocal strain, which might occasionally mean a more severe problem like a vocal cord polyp or nodule.
