The Throat
Cancer of the Mouth and Throat Overview
The oral cavity (mouth) and the upper part of the throat (pharynx) have roles in many important functions, including breathing, talking, chewing, and swallowing. The mouth and upper throat are sometimes referred to as the oropharynx.........
What are the Signs of a Sore Throat?
* Pain in the throat and difficulty in swallowing.
* Pain may spread to the ears.
* The throat is reddish, the tonsils are swollen and may be coated.
* Possibly a high temperature.
* Swollen lymph nodes under your jaw and in your neck may occur.
* If the sore throat is due to a viral infection the symptoms are usually milder. Usually they are connected to the common cold.
* If the sore throat is due to the Coxsackie virus, small blisters may develop on the tonsils and in the soft palate. The blisters erupt in a few days and are followed by a scab which may be very painful.
* If the sore throat is due to a streptococcal infection, the tonsils often swell and become coated and the throat is sore. The patient runs a temperature, has foul-smelling breath and may feel quite ill......
Causes
* Breathing through the mouth (can cause drying and irritation of the throat)
* Common cold
* Endotracheal intubation (tube insertion)
* Flu

* Surgery such as tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy
