AS we delve deeper into the winter months, many us are likely to pick up a cold, with one of the most common symptoms being a sore throat.
Most of the time, sore throats are caused by viruses like the common cold, or from smoking.
But there are some conditions that present with a sore throat and can be deadly serious.
The NHS says that most of the time, sore throats will treat themselves and will usually be gone within a week.
To help soothe a sore throat there are things you can do, including avoiding smoking and being around people who smoke.
You should also gargle with warm, salty water and try and eat cool and soft foods which won't irritate you.
If none of the usual remedies are helping and you have seen a pharmacist then it's advisable to see your GP.
Here are the four conditions that your sore throat could be a sign of.
This is an abscess which is filled with puss and can be deadly as it can become so large that it can obstruct the airways, making it hard for you to breathe.
The abscess will contain bacteria and cellular debris which is found near the tonsils.
If you think you have peritonsillar then you need to see a doctor as they will have to drain the abscess with a needle to stop it obstructing your airway and to stop you ingesting the bacteria.
If you've got peritonsillar then it will usually display as swelling on the roof of your mouth as well as on one side of your throat.
One expert says that a sore throat is one of the first signs of throat cancer.
Dr Omid Mehdizadeh an otolaryngologist and laryngologist said if a tumour is growing on one side of your throat, it can cause pain on just that one side.
He explained that the only way to diagnose or rule out a tumour is to see a doctor who can check for growing lumps or other symptoms, he told Insider .
"A doctor can also perform a laryngoscopy, in which a small camera is inserted through the nose or mouth to look for polyps, tumours, or other signs of inflamed growths inside your larynx and hypopharynx", Dr Mehdizadeh explained.
You might need to have surgery to remove the tumour depending on its size and growth.
If it is found the be cancerous then you might need radiation or therapy to prevent it from coming back.
There are over 4,000 deaths from throat cancer in the UK every year and other signs include a cough, change in your voice or difficulty swallowing.
While the NHS states that a new persistent cough, a high temperature and a loss of taste and smell are signs of Covid, many patients have also experienced a sore throat.
The ZOE Covid Symptom Study app has shown that a sore throat is among the most frequently reported symptoms, in both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
Tim Spector, the leading researcher on the study, presented a YouTube video in which he asked viewers to report exactly how their sore throat feels.
He said: “We are getting a messages that the sore throat people are getting with Covid is a bit unusual, it’s not like they’ve seen it before.
“Maybe in a different place, or it feels differently.
“We might be doing some more research on that to see if we can distinguish these Covid type symptoms from the ones of a normal cold virus.”
In the UK over 145,000 people have died from coronavirus.
It's important that if you think you have Covid you get a test and isolate so that you can't pass the bug on to anyone else.
Most people who catch Covid have moderate or mild symptoms.
Thousands of people die from the flu or related conditions every year in the UK.
Flu can be deadly for elderly and vulnerable people so it's important that you look in on them during the winter months.
Usually the flu will clear up on its own but you can try drinking warm fluids, taking a hot shower and gargling salt water.
In any case, if your sore throat is long lasting then you should see a doctor.

I enjoy giving my boyfriend head. And not to brag, but I think I'm pretty decent at it. Recently though, he has hinted that he wants me to try deep-throating. In the porn I've watched it looks pretty intense — and I'm worried about my gag reflex. Any tips for how to deep throat for a first-timer? — The Shallow

I respect your willingness to swallow your pride, so to speak, and come at this with an open mind (and gullet). As you seem to already know, the gag reflex tends to be the biggest inhibitor of the deep throat technique.

Also known as the pharyngeal reflex or laryngeal spasm, the gag reflex is the contraction of the back of the throat that occurs when triggered by an object touching the roof of the mouth, back of the tongue, tonsil area, or the back of the throat. It is meant to prevent things from going down your throat that aren't supposed to be there, and to stop you from choking. The unfortunate truth is that our throats are not designed to swallow dicks! That said, some people have it easier than others in this category. Studies show that 37% of people do not have a gag reflex . On the other end of the spectrum, 10 to 15% of people have a hypersensitive gag reflex (HGR). Regardless of where you fall, you can learn how to deep throat if you care to. Consider these tips and then dive right in.

There are throat training exercises you can do to help desensitize your gag reflex. Keep in mind, this training must take place over time in order to be effective. Pick a phallic-shaped object, starting with something small like a toothbrush or your finger, and slowly move the object toward the back of your throat. When you feel yourself starting to gag, stop and try to relax while taking deep breaths in order to suppress your gag reflex. Try to hold it there for 10 Mississippis.

The more you practice this, the sooner you will see improvements. Once you are able to hold it there for the full 10 seconds, experiment with moving the object in and out slowly. This may stimulate your gag reflex even more. Make sure to keep breathing. Once you have conquered this with a small object, work your way up to a dildo. Hot tip: Do not practice this with a banana. It could break off into your throat and cause you to choke, which would be a very embarrassing way to go.

Positions that create a straight line from the mouth to the throat, allowing the penis to go there, are ideal. There are a few positions that are particularly good for this type of sword swallowing endeavor.

Whatever position you try, one of the most important things is that you are able to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed with your partner. Feeling pressured or scared, besides creating a very negative experience for you, will lead to you tensing up the muscles in your jaw and your throat, which makes it less likely that you will get the results you were hoping for. Coming up with a signal that lets your partner know to stop is of the utmost importance, as is open communication any time sexual experimentation is going down.

When it comes to deep throating, creating optimal breathing opportunities and using breath to help you to relax are important ingredients for success. Stuffed up with a head cold? Wait until your sinuses are cleared out, then try.

Try experimenting with your breathing. Inhale as you slide him out, using that moment to take a breath. Try the reverse as well, inhale as he is going in and exhale as he is going out. Many experts recommend sticking your tongue out or flattening it in order to allow the penis to slide further down the throat. Keep in mind that this leaves your soft palate exposed and available to poking and prodding which is likely to trigger that gag reflex.

Go in hydrated like you are about to run a marathon. Dehydration is your enemy. You need saliva to do a good job. Putting some lube on your lips or on him can allow your mouth to go up and down smoothly which helps the whole process. If you are able to bring his penis into your mouth far enough, the back of your throat will begin to lubricate with a thick saliva.

There are many different tricks that are recommended to enhance your deep throat technique. They range from old wives' tales to more scientifically-based recommendations.

In order to feel safe and have a great experience, talk it out first. And make an ejaculation plan in advance. Are you comfortable swallowing? How do you want to be warned that he is about to cum — and where do you want it to go? Most importantly, like any sex act, this should be about wanting it. You should never feel pressured or coerced. With that? You're far from the shallow now.

In Hump Day, award-winning psychotherapist and TV host Dr. Jenn Mann answers your sex and relationship questions — unjudged and unfiltered.
