Most sore throats are mere viral infections of the pharynx, or less commonly, an infection with group A β-hemolytic strep (strep throat). Treatment is generally symptomatic but should also include immune support. Antibiotics have not been shown to have any effect on the intensity or duration of strep throat symptoms, though there is weak evidence that they may reduce the risk of developing rheumatic fever as a complication. More obscure causes of tonsillitis include diphtheria, measles, Coxsackie virus, Vincent’s angina, and mononucleosis. A peritonsillar or retropharyngeal abscess may occur as a rare but potentially life-threatening complication and should be considered a medical emergency.
