2. Sneezing
Depending on the cause of the burning sensation in your throat, you may also experience sneezing. This is particularly true if the cause of the sore throat is a cold, flu, or allergies. When the sinuses are inflamed or irritated, they can drain through the throat. This can cause a lot of pain in the throat and even make the throat swell. Sneezing can also make the throat hurt since you use the throat muscles when you do it. Most people who are frequently sneezing also report a burning sensation in their throats.
The pain should go away when the cold or allergies subside. Cough medicines, warm drinks, and throat lozenges can help relieve the pain and irritation caused by sneezing. The throat may hurt for a few days after the sneezing subsides.
A sore throat accompanied by sneezing can also be a sign of something more serious, so it’s a good idea to seek medical attention if it lasts for more than a few days.
