What Causes Running Nose And Sore Throat?
Hello. I m 16 years old and a female. Lately, I ve been having discomfort in my throat. I m assuming its a sore throat, but i m not so sure. I haven t had any colds or runny noses prior to this, but I have had bloating and discomfort on my abdomens. Which, I think may be indigestion? But when I first felt the discomfort, It felt like something was there in my throat and more saliva was being produced. The more I swallowed, the more it hurt to swallow . The next day, it would subside a bit but eventually come back. Now, I still have discomfort and I have phlegm/mucus that I can t cough up. Do I have an infection in the throat?

Hello,
The possibility of you may be suffering from chronic pharyngitis or acid reflux or ulcers or stomatitis. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Avoid spicy food and hot water or soups. Use lukewarm water for gargling thrice a day for five days. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
