Corey Lewis waits to receive a COVID-19 test at the Cannon Health Building in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021. Several people infected with the omicron variant of the coronavirus have one symptom in common — a scratchy throat.
Several people infected with the omicron variant of the coronavirus have one symptom in common — a scratchy throat.
Per The Hill , several reports from the U.K. suggest that people infected with omicron said they had scratchy throats.
But the ZOE COVID Study , which has analyzed thousands of COVID-19 cases and reported on COVID-19 symptoms, found that a sore throat is one of the top symptoms for those who were infected with COVID-19 around the time that the omicron variant started to circulate.
New research suggests that the omicron variant of the novel coronavirus causes less severe COVID-19 symptoms for those who are infected, especially compared to early variants of the virus, as I wrote for the Deseret News.
Dr. Angelique Coetzee , chairwoman of the South African Medical Association, told the “BBC Sunday” show after discovery of the omicron variant that patients had “unusual symptoms.”

Tonsillitis occurs when the tonsils become infected and inflamed. Tonsils are the two small lumps of soft tissue — one on either side — at the back of the throat. You can see your tonsils in a mirror by opening your mouth and sticking out your tongue.
As part of your immune system, tonsils trap some of the germs that make you sick. When tonsils become infected, they get swollen and sore, and swallowing may hurt. Tonsillitis is also called tonsillopharyngitis, but most people call it a sore throat.

Tonsillitis is very common. Most people have tonsillitis at least once in their lifetime.
Tonsillitis is most common in children, but it can affect people of all ages. Tonsillitis rarely occurs in children under the age of 3.
Symptoms of tonsillitis usually come on suddenly. Common symptoms include:
A virus or bacteria causes tonsillitis. The two types of tonsillitis are:
The viruses and bacteria that cause tonsillitis are highly contagious. They are passed along by:
To diagnosis tonsillitis, your doctor will:
After confirming a tonsillitis diagnosis, your doctor will need to determine whether the infection results from a virus or bacteria (strep throat).
Your doctor may order a throat culture — also known as a strep test — to determine if you have strep throat. A throat culture is a simple test that checks for the presence of specific bacteria in your throat. During a throat culture:
If you have a sore throat, swollen tonsils and pain with swallowing, you may have tonsillitis. You should visit your doctor to determine whether bacteria or a virus is causing the tonsillitis. The treatment varies based on the type of infection.
The treatment you receive depends on the infection’s cause. While the symptoms of viral tonsillitis and bacterial tonsillitis can be similar, their treatments are different.
Strep throat (tonsillitis caused by bacteria) is treated with an antibiotic medication. Antibiotics require a prescription from your doctor. You usually take antibiotics orally (by mouth) for about 10 days. The most common antibiotics for strep throat are:
It is very important to follow your doctor’s instructions and take the full course of antibiotics, even if you are feeling better after a couple of days. You must finish the antibiotics so the infection doesn’t come back, get worse, or spread to another part of your body.
Side effects from antibiotics used to treat bacterial tonsillitis (strep throat) include:
The antibiotics used to treat strep throat (bacterial tonsillitis) will not work on tonsillitis caused by a viral infection. To relieve the symptoms of viral tonsillitis, your doctor will recommend:
Complications from tonsillitis are usually associated with strep throat and the streptococcal bacteria. They include:
To relieve the symptoms of viral and bacterial tonsillitis, you can:
To reduce your risk of developing tonsillitis, you should:
Most cases of viral tonsillitis clear up in a few days with fluids and plenty of rest. Antibiotics usually eliminate bacterial tonsillitis (strep throat) in about 10 days. Tonsillitis usually doesn’t cause any serious or lasting health problems.
You should contact your doctor if you have:

Home » General Health » Oral Care » Thick saliva in throat causes and home remedies
Thick saliva in throat – or mucus – is a viscous, acidic, and semi-opaque secretion, instead of the clear and watery one. Changes can be due to large quantities of organic matter in the saliva caused by a variety of reasons.
Normal saliva is a lubricating fluid to help us eat and talk. It is also an antibacterial agent to help eliminate harmful bacteria in our mouth. Furthermore, it contains enzymes to help aid in food digestion and is normally thin, non-irritating, and non-disturbing.
Thick saliva is not normal, and could be an indication of another health condition. It’s important to understand the possible causes of thick saliva to get the proper treatment.
Radiation therapy: Undergoing radiation therapy of the head and neck can produce thick saliva. Thick saliva may appear within the first couple of weeks of radiation therapy. Recovery of salivary glands can be seen within two to six months after radiation therapy has stopped, but thick saliva may be present up to five years after. Factors that contribute to normalization of saliva after radiation include age, dosage of radiation, and field of exposure.
Dehydration: Insufficient hydration throughout the day can contribute to thick saliva.
Smoking: Smoking irritates the internal lining of the upper respiratory tract, increasing mucus production. As a result, the smokers may feel as if there is something sticky in their throats. A cough with mucus may occur in some smokers as well.
Candidiasis: This is caused by the fungus candida, so if your thick saliva is also accompanied by white patches in your mouth it could be a sign of oral fungus, which requires antifungal treatment.
Cough and cold: When you are sick with the cold, flu, or another respiratory infection, extra mucus is produced, causing thick saliva.
Autoimmune disorders: Some autoimmune disorders like Sjögren’s syndrome can cause thick saliva.
Seasonal allergies : If thick saliva is only present during certain times of the year when you are around certain triggers, it could be a result of seasonal allergies. Pay attention to when you experience thick saliva to detect a possible allergen. Commonly, the allergy season spans from May to September, but winter allergies are possible, too. Medications: Some medications indicate that you must consume plenty of water when taking them. This is because they can dry out the oral cavity, causing saliva to become thick. Ensure you drink enough water if your medication lists dry mouth as a side effect.
Diabetes and elevated blood sugar: When blood sugar level gets high or uncontrolled, it leads to dry mouth, once again causing thick saliva.
Gastroenteritis : Having gastroenteritis could affect saliva production, thickening its consistency.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) : Acid produced by the stomach pushes up through the esophagus, so the mouth produces extra saliva to combat the acidity.
Cystic fibrosis : In cystic fibrosis, the body produces abnormally thick and sticky mucus.
If your thick saliva is caused by a serious health condition, you need to speak to your doctor about treatment to prevent complications. If your thick saliva isn’t a cause for concern, there are some home remedies you can try to improve the condition.
What we eat can have a large effect on saliva, so here are some common foods that not only help boost saliva production, but also decrease the thickness of saliva.
Here are food items you should avoid if you have a dry mouth as they could lead to thick saliva.
