How To Spot Diphtheria

Sore Throat And Hoarse Voice

A couple of other common diphtheria symptoms include a sore throat and hoarse voice, both of which are caused by the throat becoming irritated. The pain with these symptoms usually gets worse whenever the patient swallows. More irritation in the throat equates to a rougher and more grating voice, which can make it difficult to speak and have conversations until diphtheria goes away. Some of the main symptoms that come with a sore throat as well as a hoarse voice include pain in the throat, difficulties swallowing, swollen glands in the neck, reddened tonsils, and white spots on the tonsils. A couple of remedies commonly used for these symptoms include cough drops and pain relievers.
