Sore throat: This soundalike an acute illness. Take some Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin and it will run its course. It sounds like virus to me. Try to pop your ears. This will get rid of the plugging. Take delsym for the cough. Good luck and feel better!

Virus vs allergies: Could be allergies and the use of an antihistamine like claritin could help Also the use of a saline nose spray if nasal congestion is a problem would be approriate the sore throat could be due to mouthbreathing, post nasal drip or a little viral infection Hydrating is also important
