If the testicles are painful or swollen, it is possible that the testicles are also inflamed. In this case, anti-inflammatory drugs may be needed.

4. Colds Colds are viral infections of the nasal passages that can cause sore throats.

5. Pharyngitis Pharyngitis can cause sore throat. It is best not to smoke and drink, and drink liquids as much as possible to avoid irritating the throat.
