What Causes Recurring Sore Throat And Cough?

I've had a sore throat for two days but its not a normal sore throat its off and on. When I have the sore throat I feel the need to spit up mucus but then there isn't too much. Also, I've felt realy tired today and I got 7 hours a sleep and took a 3 hour nap a couple hours before I went to bed yesterday. Just wondering why i have a sore throat off and on when I'm not coughing and I don't have any other symptoms.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted you have repeated sore throat.
So when you have it get your posterior pharynx examined...
You might have repeated tonsilitis...

Maintain your hygiene proper...
Before eating hand washing done ..
Take outside food limited....

Just now for sore throat salt water gargles done....
Take amoxiclav antibiotic to prevent secondary infection...
More water....

Get your nose examined ..if nasal polyp or DNS present then repeated cold and sore throat can occur...

Rule out allergic infections also.
CBC done for eosinophilia checking.
If seems allergic, allergen test can be done.

Take care.
