These are terms that a patient would use. One scratches an itch, but many people think the two are interchangeable. So, Mr. Klamm has two options now.

What is a Sore Throat?
A sore throat refers to pain, itchiness, or irritation of the throat. You may have difficulty swallowing food and liquids, and the pain may get worse when you try to swallow. Throat pain is the primary symptom of a sore throat. However, other symptoms may include a dry throat, swollen glands in the neck, white patches on the tonsils, and hoarseness.
