A member asked:
When having post nasal drip, can a sore throat be really dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally, no.: It's either going to occur or not (the sore throat, that is). I don't think presence of a sore throat with post nasal drip (source is usually rhinitis) would warrant worrying about it being dangerous.
