A sore throat, which is widely applied to some people, especially in the cold, is not a disease itself. It is only the symptom of a disease, which may be a tonsillitis, pharyngitis, or even something more serious. The tonsillitis is the most common cause of neck pain. The tonsils are on top of the neck and serves to protect the body. They are filled with tiny holes, called crypts, which serve to retain bacteria, viruses and fungi. Only the guardian of the body can also be the victim of external agents. When a person is weak, with low immunity, viruses and bacteria can cause inflammation of the amygdala itself. The disease caused by bacteria is a bit heavier than the virus causes. Because the disease is caused by an external agent, the kiss on the mouth but can transmit it. Some people are more prone to tonsillitis. When the disease recurs, the tonsils suffer a change in the format of both swell and deflate. In the pores, they become more prominent, some folds which facilitate the accumulation of viruses and bacteria. It is half way to the emergence of new infections. In the past, the removal of the tonsils was very common. Today, the operation is still done, but only when the inflammation is much sought - five times a year - and when the swelling is so great it difficult to breath. Cold favors the development of inflammation because it reduces the body's defense. Therefore, those who already have a propensity to avoid habits such as getting her hair wet and very cold drinks to consume. During the crisis, one should not take anything neither too hot nor too cold. The problem is more recurrent in children, which can be explained by four factors. The amygdala is growing naturally more exposed to the risk of inflammation. The defense system of them is not yet fully developed and is not as strong as adults. Furthermore, as nursery environments and children parties facilitate the transmission of viruses and bacteria. Finally, they are also at increased risk of having reflux, which is an aggravating factor. A gargle warm salt water often relieve tonsillitis. The secretion process takes accumulated and excess water remaining in the tonsils during inflammation. Tablets usually serve only as an analgesic and not attack the disease itself. Another joint inflammation in the throat, which can be confused with tonsillitis, pharyngitis is. The pharynx lies behind the nose and down behind the mouth into the esophagus, which is where food passes. Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharynx, and can also be caused by viruses and bacteria. But the major concern of physicians about the sore throat is cancer of the larynx, the same as former President Lula had. This cancer is more common among men and kills 90,000 people a year worldwide. The main risk factor for the development of this cancer is smoking - it is 14.3 times more common among smokers. Other risk factors are alcohol, reflux and HPV, a sexually transmitted virus. The possibility of cure is above 90% when the diagnosis is made early. It is therefore recommended to seek an ENT is a hoarseness lasts longer than a week and is followed by sore throat, burning, frequent coughing, difficulty breathing and swallowing
