Sore throat: You did not mention how long this has been occurring. I suggest you visit your doctor for a proper assessment.

Yes: This often occurs when a runner uses excessive mouth breathing. My suggestion is to train yourself to breath through your nose more often than your mouth.

Every time me and my boyfriend kiss a lot i get sick (headache, stuffiness, sore throat). I am absolutely positive he isn't cheating. It only happens when we kiss a lot (a lot of saliva sharing). He isn't sick and doesn't get sick from it. Plz help?
