Throat pain is normal, but it is a sign of a fatal disease

 Many of us face from time to time throat problems, which may often be a minor problem, but at the same time it may be a sign of bigger problems that reach the level of life threatening.

In the event that a sore throat persists for a long time, beyond the usual recovery period, which does not exceed a week, it may be a sign of one of the serious and fatal diseases, which is “peritonitis”.

According to "Sky News"

Peritonitis can be fatal, because it means bacteria and mucus build up in the throat so large that it can obstruct the airway, making it difficult for you to breathe.

A sign of peritonitis is swelling in the roof of your mouth, as well as on one side of your throat. If you think you have peritonitis, you need to see a doctor because he will have to drain the abscess with a needle to prevent it from blocking your airway and to prevent you from swallowing bacteria.

Experts say that a sore throat is one of the first signs of throat cancer, according to the British newspaper, The Sun.

Otolaryngologist Omid Mehdizadeh says that if the tumor grows on one side of the throat, it can only cause pain on that side.

He explained that the only way to diagnose or rule out a tumor is to visit a doctor who can check for a growing tumor or other symptoms, and you may need to have surgery to remove the tumor depending on its size and growth.

And while the World Health Organization states that a persistent cough, high temperature, loss of taste and smell are signs of infection with corona, many patients have also suffered from a sore throat.

Studies have shown that sore throats are the most frequently reported symptom for infected people, in both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
