Throat Infection Compensation Claims
Throat infections are common illness that all kinds of people suffer from. They are caused by bacteria and viruses which can be spread through water, food and sometimes air. Infections of the throat are common on holiday, due to improper cleaning.

Are There Different Types of Throat Infection?
Throat infections can be either bacterial or viral. These two conditions can both be mild, but they can also both be serious. Either infection can cause health concerns which can be unpleasant, particularly if obtained on holiday where treatment may be unavailable.
What’s the Difference Between Viral and Bacterial Infections?
The major distinction between the two types of infection is their resistance to antibiotics. Antibiotic drugs can quickly deal with bacterial infections. However, they aren’t effective against viral illnesses. Both infections are contagious and potentially harmful to your health.
What are the Symptoms of a Throat Infection?
An infection of the throat can cause a wide range of symptoms which can be harmful to your health. These issues are made much worse when the infection occurs on holiday. Abroad, access to reliable medical treatment may not be readily available.
What are the Most Common Symptoms of a Throat Infection?
In general, the most common symptoms you’ll suffer from following a throat infection include:
- Sore Throat.
- Swollen Throat/Inflamed Tonsillitis.
- Swollen/Tender Lymph Nodes.
- Abdominal Pains.
- Skin Rashes.
- Loss of Appetite.
- Muscle Aches.
- Diarrhoea.
Can an Infection of the Throat Cause Ear Pain?
As your lymph nodes swell, or the infection spreads to your sinuses, ear pain is common. In many cases, it is also possible to get an ear infection at the same time as an infection of the throat.
Can a Throat Infection Cause Toothache?
Infections of the throat can irritate and cause your throat to swell. This can cause your gums to swell around your teeth. As such, your teeth might feel overly tender and painful as the result of a throat infection.
Will a Throat Infection Cause Nausea?
If you suffer from regular infections, then there is something in your environment causing them. Dry, dusty or mouldy areas can all lead to infections of the throat. If your work is causing infection, you may be able to claim for compensation.
Are Throat Infections Contagious?
Both viral and bacterial infections are contagious. They are common in holiday resorts. If the bacteria or virus infects a swimming pool, for example, anyone can become infected. This is normally caused by poor standards of cleanliness.
How Do Throat Infections Spread?
Infections can be spread through swimming pool water or by consuming contaminated food. Buffets are a common cause of throat infections, as anyone can contaminate the food. If you’ve suffered a throat infection that wasn’t your fault, contact Tylers today.
Can Throat Infections Lead to Other Infections?
Throat infections can weaken your immune system while you infected. As such, you may be more vulnerable to other infections and illnesses. Both bacterial and viral infections can impact your resistance to illnesses.
