The throat (Latin gula) is the anterior part of the neck, in front of the vertebral column. It consists of the pharynx and larynx. An important feature of the throat is the epiglottis, a flap which separates the esophagus from the trachea and prevents inhalation of food or drink. The throat contains various blood vessels, various pharyngeal muscles, the trachea (windpipe) and the esophagus.
Throat infection is a bacterial infection in the throat and the tonsils. A sore throat is commonly spread by: sharing drink, coughing, nose blowing, and sneezing. Viral infection can also be the cause of throat infection, like those which cause colds and flu. These are more common in the winter, when we spend more time indoors in contact with other people, enabling germs to spread rapidly.
