Why I got this sore throat?

[Anonymous]

Yesterday night I ate a burger that I bought in a nearby fast-food restaurant and since then I had this sore throat, could it be caused by the burger or it’s unrelated and could be the start of a cold or allergy?

I ate the same burger many times before and nothing has happened.. didn’t had any sore throat after..

Dang bro, that's definitely weird that the burger would randomly give you a sore throat now when you've had it before no problem. A few possibilities I can think of:

- Could be a coincidence and you're coming down with something else like a cold or allergy flare up. Sore throat is a common early symptom.

- Maybe that particular burger wasn't cooked all the way through or had some germs on it that your body isn't used to fighting off. Food poisoning can sometimes cause sore throat.

- Potential the restaurant wasn't as clean last night when they made your meal compared to other times. Bacteria or something could've gotten in.

- I suppose there's a small chance you developed an allergy recently to something in the burger, like the bun or a sauce, and it acted up this time.

If it's just a mild sore throat and you feel okay otherwise, it's probably no big deal. But keep an eye on it - if it gets worse fast or you develop other flu-like symptoms, maybe tell your parents and see the doc. Hope you feel better soon bro! Let me know if it clears up or gets weird.

I would suggest the two are unrelated.. Just a coincidence!

Just a thought, but do you have any fever or other symptoms?

It will probably turn into a cold in a couple more days. At least that's what happens with me when I get a sore throat.
Maybe take a couple of paracetamol before going to bed. If it IS a cold coming, that will stop it being a bad one.
