Pharyngitis and sore throat[edit]

I would estimate that, formally, sore throat is a sign or a symptom as subjectively experienced by the person, whereas pharyngitis—inflammation of pharynx—is the underlying physiological process that most commonly causes sore throat. But I have no source for this. --Dan Polansky 08:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
