We know you’re excited about your trip, but also concerned about your health while away from home. Getting sick away from home can be a horrible, terrifying, and expensive experience. At the Elite Urgent Care Centers (http://eliteurgentcarecenters.com/) we provide all sorts of useful information and medical services for patients traveling abroad. The vaccinations and immunizations we can provide for you will help keep you well. Furthermore, many countries require Vaccinations and Immunizations prior to your entering.
One of the most common reasons for a visit to the torrance urgent care is pharyngitis commonly called a sore throat. Patients experience a spectrum of symptoms from mildly irritating to severly painful. If the voice box (larynx) is inflammed and/or infected then patients will also complain of hoarseness or complete loss of their voice. This is called laryngitis.
Most sore throats are caused by a minor illness and go away without any medical treatment. For example if you have sinus allergies you may wake up with a sore throat in the morning, but by afternoon it will be gone on its own. Other non-infectious causes of a sore throat include:
Throat irritation from low humidity, smoking, air pollution, yelling, or nasal drainage
Mouth breathing, especially when sleeping at night with allergies or a stuffy nose.
Stomach acid that backs up into the throat wither from “heartburn” or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
