How do colds cause sore throats and why are some colds worse for this than others?
In: Biology
I’m not a doctor neither am I a professional in this field.
However as long as I remember, our throats provide great condition for the virus/infection to stay and do its job.
The body realizes this and tries to fight the disease. One of its defense mechanisms is to create swelling in our throat. It apparently helps (I really don’t know how effective this is), but it really hurts.
I’m sure others can provide more and better information or maybe mention where I’m mistaken.
