Many medical conditions might produce a sore throat. Some reasons, such as strep throat and acute laryngitis, are temporary and usually go away on their own. In other cases, medical attention is needed on a more permanent basis, as is the case with acid reflux. A sore throat or difficulty swallowing can make even the simplest of tasks challenging. Swallowing difficulties can cause malnutrition and other complications if left untreated
Some common routines that can irritate the throat are discussed here. The data presented in this post were culled from the trustworthy resource Verywell Health.
The 3 most common causes of chronic throat pain
Smoking
One or two cigarettes here and there probably won't create any long-term harm, but regular smoking can.
Many people who smoke develop sore throats because of the following:
If you're a smoker, your throat may get dry and uncomfortable if you puff on the cigarettes too often.
Cigarettes include toxins that impair the function of cilia, the hair-like cells that sweep up mucus and foreign particles. This can induce a buildup of mucus in the nasal passages and, eventually, "smoker's cough," which can irritate the throat.
A condition characterized by open-mouthed sleep
Those that snore often have the tendency of breathing through their mouths as they sleep, which can have negative effects on their health and lead to issues like dry mouth, sore throat, and headaches.
Use of alcohol in excess
A painful throat and raspy voice are common side effects following a night of heavy drinking. The mouth and throat may get dry when drinking alcohol. Having spent the evening shouting conversations or singing along to loud music, your throat and vocal chords may be inflamed from the dryness and the strain.
