Sore throats are very common and usually nothing to worry about. They normally get better by themselves within a week. Sore throats are usually caused by viruses (like cold or flu) or from smoking. Very occasionally they can be caused by bacteria.
A sore throat can also be caused by:
laryngitis
tonsillitis
strep throat (a bacterial throat infection)
glandular fever
