Is It Viral or Bacterial? What Your Sore Throat Could Mean

A sore throat is one of the most common reasons people seek advice from a pharmacist, especially during autumn and winter. The good news is that most sore throats are caused by viruses and usually improve on their own within a week, while a smaller number are caused by bacterial infections that may need assessment through the Pharmacy First service.
