Mucus causing sore throat
Hello me, and my girlfriend have had a sore throat with mucus drainage for about 3 weeks now. Does anyone have any idea what may cause this? Allergy season is pretty much over up here, and she is on Claraitin anyways so we are not sure what it could be. Or a remedy for it.
I've experienced this often. Sounds to me like a sinus infection with post-nasal drip. If you let the symptoms go unchecked, the mucus could go down into your bronchial tube and cause bronchitis, or even into your lungs and give you pnemonia. At least this is what my experience has taught me.
If I were you I would use sudafed or mucinex, and if chloraseptic spray would offer relief for the sore throat, it couldn't hurt.
If things don't get better I always see a ENT doctor who usually puts me on augmentin or amoxicillin, at worst a medrol pack.
