Soreness in Malayalam
The one word listed, ചീങ്കണ്ണ് (cheenkannu), is not soreness in general: it names a sore, inflamed condition of the eye. The kannu at the end is eye, which shows how narrow it is.
Most common translation
Soreness of the eye, an eye disease.
കുട്ടിക്ക് ഇന്ന് ചീങ്കണ്ണ് ഉണ്ട്.

Dictionary entry
- ചീങ്കണ്ണ് (cheenkannu) — Soreness of the eye, an eye disease.
Because the eye is built into the word, ചീങ്കണ്ണ് (cheenkannu) cannot be used for a sore throat or aching muscles.
Common questions
How do you say soreness in Malayalam?
There is no general word here. ചീങ്കണ്ണ് (cheenkannu) means soreness or disease of the eye only.
How would you say my throat is sore?
By naming the part and saying it hurts, since cheenkannu is locked to the eye and no wider soreness word is listed.
