Chronic ore throat
On & off for a few months (around 3) now i get random sore throats. They hurt for 1-2 days then disappear & then come back again a week or 2 later. I have also suffered on & off with nasal congestion too.
Do u have any ideas what this is?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Chronic sore throats can be allergic, viral or bacterial in origin. Streptoccocal infection is the most common bacterial infection and can cause nasal symptoms too. Common allergens causing these symptoms are pollen, mold, dust, pet dander. High eosinophil counts too can cause these symptoms. Viral flu, infectious mononucleosis etc can cause these problems.
A comprehensive investigation including CBC, throat swab, allergic tests etc is required keeping all the points in mind.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
