Warning Signs Of Adenoviruses

A Sore Throat

When you experience scratchiness, pain, or other irritations of the throat that becomes more painful upon swallowing, you are experiencing pharyngitis or a sore throat. Cold and flu are the two most likely causes, though an adenovirus is also possible. Fortunately, the soreness will typically resolve once the virus goes away. Strep throat is a less common version of pharyngitis, but it is caused by a bacteria rather than a virus; in this situation, you will need to undergo treatment to stop further health problems. If something more serious causes the pharyngitis, treatment may get more complicated. The symptoms to watch out for will depend on what is causing the irritation in the first place, such as difficulty swallowing, sore and swollen glands in the jaw or neck, a hoarse or muffled voice, pain that worsens when swallowing, scratchiness in the throat, swollen and red tonsils, white patches on the tonsils, and pus on the tonsils. Also look out for high internal temperature, sneezing, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, headache, or body aches. Be sure to talk to a doctor if you are experiencing these symptoms.
