I have gone through your query regarding throat pain and cough for last 2 months, you are also pssing black thread like particles in your phlegm.
Your symptoms re favoring for chronic infection either in throat or in chest. Since you have throat pain so some short of infection is likely to be there. You are now advice for these basic test to confirm the pathology.-
Beside this a thorough examination of throat to find out any local cause as- tonsillitis, Laryngitis etc. After this clinical co-relation with inferences of investigations will one to pin point the diagnosis that lateron may be accordingly plan for treatment.
