Sore throats and nausea can be caused by viruses, bacteria, environmental allergens, diseases, and medications. Chemotherapy and radiation for cancer can also induce these symptoms. Strep bacteria and Arcanobacterium haemolyticum are common bacterial causes, while pneumonia and bronchitis are the main viral causes of nausea. If symptoms last longer than 72 hours, it is recommended to see a doctor. Antinausea drugs and antibiotics may be prescribed.
Viruses and bacteria lead the list of factors that commonly cause sore throats and nausea. Environmental allergens, diseases, and medications can also make a person feel nauseous and give them a sore throat together or separately. Patients undergoing cancer treatments often complain that chemotherapy can induce sore throat and nausea, while radiation for cancer generally produces nausea. These symptoms typically last between 24 hours and three days.
A sore throat can emerge under the onslaught of a common cold virus as a raw, aching sensation in the lining of the throat, most noticeable when swallowing. Severe cases can make swallowing difficult and frequently occur with phlegm. In addition to the common cold, croup, flu, and mononucleosis are other specific viruses most often responsible for sore throats. The viruses that cause the childhood diseases of chickenpox and measles can also produce raw, sore throats.
In 10 to 50 percent of cases of bacterial-based sore throat and nausea, the strep bacteria appears to be to blame, followed by the bacteria Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, which are known to cause skin rashes. Other specific bacterial causes include tonsillitis and diphtheria. These airborne bacteria, along with the previously identified airborne viruses, are easily spread from one sick person to another by invading the surrounding air due to sneezing and coughing fits of the affected person. Then, the contagions are inhaled into the respiratory system. Touching mucus and germs on shared towels, doorknobs and cutlery can also transmit the microbes that cause sore throats.
For nausea, which is the condition of having an unstable stomach trying to expel its contents, pneumonia and bronchitis are the main bacterial and viral causes. Often, gastritis, caused by E.coli bacteria, salmonella, and listeria in food or water, is the cause of nausea. Inflammation of the stomach lining, formally called gastritis, can also occur due to the stomach flu.
Illnesses such as pancreatitis, hepatitis and cancer often induce nausea. Often, cancerous tumors lining the stomach go undetected until the patient with nausea starts vomiting regularly and then goes to the doctor for an explanation and diagnosis. Trivial triggers such as bad smell, unpalatable food, and worry can also lead to nausea; so too do morning sickness and pregnancy.
When the conditions of sore throat and nausea last longer than 72 hours, victims generally choose to see a doctor. Antinausea drugs such as promethazine or droperidol are often prescribed. If you have a sore throat, it is common for doctors to test for strep throat and prescribe antibiotics or penicillin.
