Sore throat can be caused by many things such as irritation, allergies, dry winter air, and infection.
Throat infections can be viral or bacterial in nature.

A sore throat is only that...a sore throat. With an infection you might have white spots on the back of your throat. You'll feel achy and have a fever. Those are the signs of an infection.

A throat infection is what causes the throat to be sore.

I can always tell a sore throat from an infection by gargling with peroxide. When you spit the peroxide out if it is a white & foamy then it is an infection and if it is clear then the chances are you just have a sore throat. Either way gargle with some mouthwash or peroxide and it will help relive the soreness and scratchy feeling.
