What Causes Sore Throat After A Jaw Injury While Boxing?
More of wondering why this happens as it s happen three times now. I took up boxing this last summer and notice when I take a hook to the jaw during sparring my throat starts to hurt after an hour or so. Feels like I have a cold or sore throat for about a day afterwards and then I am fine. Just wondering how the hit to a jaw or side of the face can cause that?

It is due to throat infection or irritation for which you can take some antibiotic like azithromycin or moxikind-cv after an expert opinion along with wikoryl or diominic-dca as decongestants. Take syrup bro-zedex or asthakind for soothing of your throat. Do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation.
