Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Low immunity, improper nutrition and allergy can be the reason of recurring sore throat. Oral hygiene is also a reason. Initially it can be viral or allergic and later on there can be secondary bacterial infection which gives yellow or green phlegm. In such case antibiotic will e needed.
Avoid contact with allergens like dust. You can use masks while going into dust environment. Vacuum your room for avoiding contact with dusts.
Taking vitamin C 100 mg daily is good to boost your immunity. Take nutritious food also. Avoid bathing in excess cold or excess hot water.
Have proper oral hygiene. Brush before going to bed and after going to bed. After that keep plain water on mouth for 15 minutes and spit out.
If you have recurrent congestion in nose then get a paranasal sinus x ray to rule out sinusitis also after consulting an ENT specialist. In that case drainage of sinus will be required.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
