A sore throat may be the first symptom of a mild illness, such as a cold or the flu, or of more severe illnesses, such as mononucleosis, strep throat or scarlet fever. A sore throat that comes on suddenly is called acute pharyngitis. It can be caused by bacteria or viruses. A sore throat that lasts for a long time is called chronic pharyngitis. It occurs when a respiratory, sinus, or mouth infection spreads to the throat. Sore throats can also be caused by: 1  Hay fever. 2  Cigarette smoking or second-hand smoke. 3  Breathing heavily polluted air or chemical fumes. 4  Swallowing sharp foods that hurt the lining of the throat, such as a tortilla chip. 5  Dry air. 6  Heartburn (gastric reflux)
