What Causes Sore Throat?
I have a very sore throat for almost a week now. Some postnasal drip. No fever. Tonsils were removed ages ago and I don t typically respond to allergens. This is very abnormal for me. I have had breast cancer and have been NED for about 6 years. Any thoughts?

While this may be a viral pharyngitis it could be strep throat even if you have no tonsils so you need to see your doctor for a throat culture and a course of amoxicillin if you do have strep
