The back of my throat has been hurting when i wake and before i go to bed. i do sleep with my fan on sometimes. no other symtoms. any reason?

Hard to tell: It's possible that your throat is dry. Having a fan on might cause moisture to evaporate from the back of your throat. Many other possibilities exist though. You might want to see a medical doctor just to get a checkup.
