Strep throat? Just a cold? Here's how to figure out why your throat hurts so much—and how to get rid of it.

When your throat is sore and you can barely speak, you might not really care about what’s causing it, as long as you can get some relief. But types of sore throat are not created equal, which means treatment isn’t, either.
 

“The common causes of sore throat can be divided into infectious and non-infectious cases,” says Stephen Parodi, MD, infectious disease expert and executive vice president with The Permanente Federation. Think of infectious cases of sore throat as something you contract, whether that’s a virus like the common cold or a bacterial infection like strep throat. Non-infectious cases, on the other hand, come from other factors that trigger inflammation, irritation, or damage in the throat, like allergies, smoking, or GERD.
