A member asked:
Hey, what causes sore throat and mucus in throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually PostNasalDrp: Usually post nasal drip. Your sinuses (allergies, infection, hyperactive) drain mucus down the back of your throat causing irritation to the throat. There are also other less common causes.
