Few things are as uncomfortable as a burning throat. When your throat hurts, it can make it hard to talk, eat, drink, and even breathe properly. Many people have a hard time even sleeping because their burning throat causes them so much discomfort. There are a lot of things that can cause a sore throat, but infections are usually the most likely cause. The symptoms that accompany a sore throat can help you determine the cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of over the counter medications that can treat the symptoms of a sore throat. If there is an underlying cause or infection, the pain is likely to return if that is not treated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a burning throat accompanied by any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and a prescription that can help you get rid of the cause of the sore throat and prevent further complications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Hoarsenes<\/strong>s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you suffer from a sore or burning throat, you may also find that you suffer from hoarseness<\/a>. Hoarseness means you are unable to speak or cannot speak loudly. Most people find that the more they strain to talk, the worse the hoarseness gets. The burning sensation in the throat can also get worse the more you talk. Hoarseness usually goes away after a few days, and there are some medications that can help treat it. You can also sip on warm liquids to help soothe the burning sensation in the throat and relieve hoarseness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing to do is try not to talk to make noise so your voice box and throat can both rest and heal. Some people experience hoarseness without a sore throat, and it may even last for days after the burning throat symptom is gone. Hoarseness that lasts more than a couple of weeks may be caused by something more serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Sneezing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a>. 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sore throat accompanied by sneezing can also be a sign of something more serious, so it\u2019s a good idea to seek medical attention if it lasts for more than a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Coughing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you cough, you use your throat to expel mucus<\/a>. It\u2019s common for the throat to hurt or burn after long periods of coughing. Coughing is common with a sinus infection, flu, or cold. Coughing that lasts a long time and is severe can result in a worse sore throat. In some cases, the cough is the cause of the sore throat, and in others, it\u2019s just a symptom that accompanies it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of ways to treat a burning throat and a cough, including medications. You can sip hot tea or milk, swallow honey, or suck on hard hand and throat lozenges. The more you swallow, the more the germs and inflammation are washed away, and the fast the throat can heal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a sore throat is usually nothing to be serious, if it occurs with a severe cough, it could be caused by an infection or virus and may require medical attention and prescription medications for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Swollen Glands<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Swollen glands are a sign of infection, and many sore throats are the result of an infection in the throat, sinuses, or respiratory system. The infection may start in one part of the body but spread to the throat during a cough or sneeze. When the body is trying to fight off the infection, the lymph nodes<\/a> swell. Many people can feel the glands in their neck swell when they have a sore throat. They can make the sore throat worse, hurt when you swallow and be sore or tender to touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lymph nodes can also tell doctors there is an infection in the body and give them an idea of what to look for in tests. Once you start taking antibiotics, the swollen glands should go down, and the sore throat should go away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glands may be slightly sore and tender for a few days after other symptoms subside, as the infection may still be in the body, but in a weakened form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Fatigue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you don\u2019t feel good, it\u2019s normal to be tired. Most people just want to lay in bad until they get over whatever infection or virus they have. Doctors even recommend getting plenty of rest when you are sick so your body can use all its strength to fight off the illness. A sore throat can wreak havoc on your body and the infection <\/a>that causes it can be hard to fight off. Your body will be working in overtime trying to get rid of it, and you may feel extremely fatigued. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rest may help, but it\u2019s still important to seek medical attention to rule out a more serious infection or illness that may require prescription medication or a specific medical treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may continue to feel tired even after the sensations of the burning throat subsides, or the sore throat may last long after you feel good enough to move around and get back to your normal daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Fever<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have a fever<\/a>, you can bet you have an infection or virus of some type. Figuring out exactly what is causing it can be tricky, even for doctors. Fevers are common with sore or burning throats, and both are common symptoms of many diseases and illnesses, including strep throat, mono, sinus infections, colds, and the flu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While fevers may be common, they can also be a sign that something serious is going on in the body. If the fever gets too high, it can cause complications and even seizures and permanent brain damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are medications that can help treat fever and sore throat, but they tend only to treat the symptoms and not the underlying cause. If the fever is caused by an infection, you will need an antibiotic to treat it. Once the underlying cause of the illness is treated, the fever and the burning throat sensation should subside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Rash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many people who have a sore throat also develop a rash<\/a>. Rashes are common with many illnesses and in most cases, are not something to worry about.\u00a0If you have other symptoms with the sore throat such as a fever and chest pain, the rash may be a sign that you are suffering from a more serious infection or virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to seek medical attention if you have a rash that accompanies a sore throat.  It could be a sign of mono, scarlet fever, or strep throat. If left untreated, these infections could spread to other areas of the body and even turn into something as serious as meningitis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doctor can determine if the rash is something to be concerned about and do the proper tests to confirm a diagnosis. Once you know the cause of the symptoms, you can begin a proper treatment and find relief from the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Runny Nose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have a cold, sinus infection, or allergies, you may experience a runny nose. This can also lead to a burning sensation<\/a> in the throat. The sinuses drain through the throat, so all the mucus and infection that builds up there eventually passes through the throat where it is either swallowed or expelled with a cough or sneeze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for that infection to linger in the throat and cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Rinsing the throat with an antiseptic medication can help prevent the infection from spreading and help relieve the pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to deal with a burning throat caused by a runny nose is to treat the underlying causes. Prescription medications are the best option. If you wish to treat the burning throat as a symptom, you can try drinking warm milk and honey, gargling salt water or pickle juice, and sucking on throat drops that can help wash away the infection and heal the throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
