3. Autoimmune Diseases
Certain autoimmune diseases or disorders can also cause symptoms to appear in the throat and oral area. A sore throat or lesions in the throat may occur in response to an autoimmune disease, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
However, diagnosing an autoimmune disease based on symptoms in the throat alone is very difficult to do, as a sore throat is a general symptom that can have a plethora of causes.4‘Articles.’ Cedars Sinai, Cedars-Sinai, www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions—pediatrics/r/rheumatic-fever.html.
