Many reasons: There are quite a few possibilities. If associated with fever and congestion possibly viral infection or possible strep throat. Are there others at home with similar symptoms. Are you in a cold area and the heat is on? This would cause sore throat in the morning.If so, use a humidifier overnight. If there is a possibility of infection you will need to see your Dr. He can check for strep or mono.
