Lifestyle or environmental factors like cold, dry air, or smoking are a few other reasons a person may experience a sore throat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few things can affect someone\u2019s sore throat timeline, including the underlying cause, the medications someone takes, and how strong their immune system is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While most symptoms fade within a few days, knowing the red flags for when it\u2019s time to visit a healthcare provider can mean the difference between adding a humidifier to your shopping list and getting antibiotics for a more serious infection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"average-duration-of-a-sore-throat-by-cause\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average duration of a sore throat by cause<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long a person\u2019s throat pain lingers will depend on the cause of the sore throat and a few other factors. So, how long does a sore throat last on average? Typically, two to seven days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One or two days of discomfort and irritation occur at the onset of experiencing a sore throat, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/flora-sinha-9a676a198\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flora Sinha, MD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an internist at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedars-sinai.org\/provider\/flora-sinha-1103532.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cedars-Sinai Medical Group<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThe progression will last about two to seven days, and symptoms start to peak around days three to four. In terms of recovery, the total time duration ranges from seven to 10 days, but improvement may start earlier,\u201d she says.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe timeline is similar for kids and adults.

Viruses are the most common cause of a sore throat in all age groups. Other symptoms that suggest a\u00a0 viral cause of a sore throat include cough, runny nose, hoarseness, and pink eye, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/antibiotic-use\/sore-throat.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although most viral infections resolve on their own, the typical duration is still two to seven days. The main factors affecting the duration of a viral sore throat are congestion and post-nasal drainage, says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/robert-biernbaum-624b2832\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robert Biernbaum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, DO, Chief Medical Officer at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wellnow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WellNow Urgent Care<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other factors affecting the duration of symptoms are a person\u2019s age, general health status, immunity, and treatment, adds Dr. Sinha. And if a sore throat is due to COVID-19, expect a similar duration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b>Stages of a cold<\/b><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"bacterial-infections\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bacterial infections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sore throats caused by bacterial infections, like group A Streptococcus, the bacteria causing strep throat, are less common than viral infections. But they do cause <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3135445\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">around 30%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of sore throats in children between the ages of 5 and 15. Typically, symptoms begin quickly and may include fever, inflammation in the lymph nodes and tonsils, red or white patches on the back of the throat, or tiny red spots on the roof of the mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBacterial infections are more common in children aged 5 to 15 than adults,\u201d says Dr. Biernbaum, referencing an article published in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canadian Family Physician<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/childrenindisasters\/features\/children-public-health.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Young children<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have more contact with others and less developed immune systems than adults, making them more likely to catch a contagious infection like strep throat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthcare providers diagnose bacterial infections by swabbing a sample from the back of the throat. If the initial test result is positive, they usually prescribe <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">antibiotics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to treat it. Because antibiotic medications vary in dosage and timeline, it\u2019s smart to chat with the pharmacist to review how to take them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen a sore throat due to a bacterial infection is treated with appropriate antibiotics, it will usually improve within two to three days from initiation of the antibiotics,\u201d says Dr. Biernbaum. However, if left untreated, it may last longer than one week. Proper diagnosis by a healthcare provider and the right antibiotics are key to shortening a sore throat caused by bacterial infection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b>Strep throat vs. sore throat<\/b><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"allergic-reactions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergic reactions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people may experience a sore throat due to allergic reactions to things like animal dander, pollens, mold, or household dust. \u201cSore throats due to allergies are most commonly caused by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">post-nasal drip<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Unlike a virus, seasonal allergies are a chronic condition, so a sore throat due to allergies could last weeks to months,\u201d\u00a0 says Dr. Biernbaum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The duration of a sore throat caused by allergies can vary, especially if the person is regularly exposed to the allergen. According to Dr. Singha, other factors that may affect duration are the person\u2019s sensitivity level and environment, the type of allergen, the season, and if they\u2019re receiving allergy treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"environmental-factors\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental factors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other reasons for dealing with a sore throat include breathing in cold air, sleeping with a fan on, breathing in secondhand smoke or household chemicals, and being around air pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Sinha says how long someone has a sore throat from things in their environment depends on how much time they spend around them. To avoid or reduce throat pain, someone could change their surroundings or avoid being in areas that worsen symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"lifestyle-choices\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifestyle choices<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people experience a sore throat from things like smoking, vaping, drinking alcohol, or screaming. As for how long this kind of sore throat lasts, Dr. Biernbaum says, \u201cAs long as an individual is exposed to the irritant.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking cigarettes or vaping is the most common lifestyle choice that can cause a sore throat because smoke irritates the throat\u2019s mucous membranes, explains Dr. Biernbaum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you don\u2019t have to be a regular smoker to feel the effects of a sore throat. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2658904\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found a significant association between occasional cigarette smoking and sore throat complaints in young adults.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Sinha says the duration of a sore throat from smoking can vary based on how many cigarettes someone smokes and how well their immune system works.

They may also do a throat swab if bacterial infection is a concern.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Biernbaum recommends seeing a healthcare provider for a sore throat lasting more than a week or if a person has been exposed to group A strep pharyngitis or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mononucleosis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the CDC, antibiotics won\u2019t help sore throats caused by a virus.
