        @anupam Viral illnesses that cause a sore throat include:
        Common cold
        Flu (influenza)
        Mono (mononucleosis)
        Measles
        Chickenpox
        Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
        Croup — a common childhood illness characterized by a harsh, barking cough
        Many bacterial infections can cause a sore throat. The most common is Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus) which causes strep throat.

        Other causes
        Other causes of a sore throat include:

        Allergies. Allergies to pet dander, molds, dust and pollen can cause a sore throat. The problem may be complicated by postnasal drip, which can irritate and inflame the throat.
        Dryness. Dry indoor air can make your throat feel rough and scratchy. Breathing through your mouth — often because of chronic nasal congestion — also can cause a dry, sore throat.
        Irritants. Outdoor air pollution and indoor pollution such as tobacco smoke or chemicals can cause a chronic sore throat. Chewing tobacco, drinking alcohol and eating spicy foods also can irritate your throat.
