What Causes Sore Throat And Post Nasal Drip?

The last week of last month I had a sore throat so stayed away from my friends and public. Then. although feeling week and sweating started getting back into life. But extreme sweating and tiredness did not go away. Went to doc and she put me on Amox for 1 week. At end of week still had same symptoms so made appt with another doc in same office as my regular doc would not be able to see me until beginning of next month. She was stumped, not Hypothyroidism, or other possibilities. I had normal temperature and blood pressure, listening to lungs were clear. Had just had blood work previous month before getting sick and was normal. Have some drainage from sinuses and doc gave antihistamine presc. said if I don t feel better in a couple of weeks come back and they would do another blood test and maybe chest xray. I am 65 and normally very healthy other than an occasional cold or flu. no heart disease, cancer, etc. I am stumped and all searches on web only give generalities. One thing that came up that I thought might be a contender was mononucleosis. Wasn t sure as never had that even as a teen and kissing all the boys! Hah! Would sure like to hear if any of you have an idea of what this could be. Thanks for any advice you have!
