Hi, thanks for using HCM.
With history sore throat, you would have taken treatment for it. Your symptom of throat irritation could be due to post nasal drip or persisting inflammation in throat or Gastro esophageal re flux causing irritation in throat. Get examined by doctor for for diagnosis.
management depends on cause.
salt water gargling 3 times a day helps to reduce irritation.
Hope this helps you.
