Dr Kenny Pang talks about common condition like sore throats.
SORE THROATS
Sore throats may be due to tonsillitis, pharyngitis or laryngitis. Tonsillitis is usually very painful and may have a longer course of illness. Pharyngitis is usually due to a virus and is usually milder with a shorter duration. Laryngitis is associated with pain and hoarseness of voice.
Persistent sore throats that result in a fever or flu may be due to chronic or recurrent tonsillitis. If you experience tonsillitis more than once in two months, you may want to consider surgery to remove the tonsils (Tonsillectomy).
