In fact, many times people don’t take coughs and sore throats seriously. Because these symptoms are so common, of course many people don't take them seriously, thinking they are just a cold or a fever. But not all coughs and sore throats are caused by these reasons. Sometimes if you don't pay attention, it may have bad consequences. I think even if you have such a common disease and you are not getting better, you still need to go to the hospital for a checkup. Next, I will talk about other diseases that can also cause cough and sore throat.

First of all, if your cough and sore throat persist, you can consider whether it is caused by infection. You may wonder how your throat could get infected inexplicably if it's inside? This is possible because we may scratch our throats when we eat but don’t pay attention. For example, when a fish bone is stuck, even if it is pulled out or taken out, it may still scratch the throat and cause infection. If the infection persists and is not treated promptly, the wound may spread. Moreover, the throat is an important part of our human body. If the trachea is injured, it may be life-threatening. So we can’t take it seriously even if we have a cough or a sore throat.

There is also acute epiglottitis, which may swell the trachea and may require surgery. If this is the reason for your cough and sore throat, you must be sent to the hospital in time.

The above are some diseases that I think may cause serious consequences, but don’t be too afraid, the probability of getting these diseases is not high.
