Dry Throat and Cough

I had strep throat about 4 weeks ago.  After taking antibiotics, I was okay.  Immediately after I came down with a cold of some sort, My throat was constantly dry, and now I always have this sticky phlegm at the back of my throat? What could this be? Post nasal drip?

I know this is 10 years ago but did you ever figure out what it was? I'm currently experiencing something similar: https://www.medhelp.org/posts/Cold-and-Flu/Coughing-after-getting-diagnosed-with-strep-throat/show/3076009

my guess would be an opportunistic virus that attacked while your body was on anti-bs for the strep.

It sounds a lot like what I have and you may have allergies.
