Sore throats can be caused by viruses or other germs that invade your body. To fight these germs, the body has built-in defenses. Blood rushes to the mucous membranes that line the nose and throat. This extra blood flow helps germ-fighting cells reach the germs. All this blood rushing to the infected area makes the blood vessels in your throat swell, and the swelling puts pressure on the nerve endings in your throat. The nerve endings send pain messages to your brain, and that's what makes the throat feel sore. So it may seem strange, but some of the discomfort of being sick comes from the body's fight against the germs and not from the germs themselves. or u can say that
