What Causes Sore Throat And Sinus Infection?
A couple months ago I got a terrible sore throat, then sinus infection, then terrible cough that lasted 5 weeks after painting a room. Yesterday I painted a room again and now again have similar terrible sore throat and start of sinus congestion - is there anything I can do to prevent the infection and cough at this point?
