A sore throat is a very common symptom during the cold season, which can be a sign of cold, flu, angina, pharyngitis or other diseases.

You should see our private GP or ENT specialist if:

• your sore throat lasts longer than a week
• you frequently have sore throats
• you’re worried about your sore throat
• you have a very high temperature and sore throat
• you have sore throat and a weak immune system

A sore throat may be a sign of possible inflammation of the throat, tonsillitis or pharyngitis. A severe or long-lasting sore throat could be a sign of bacterial throat infection or other serious condition.
