A member asked:

What can cause sore throat, mild cough, runny nose, and watery eyes?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

URI: Sound like you have the common cold. The eyes produce tears constantly and the stuffy nose prevents the tears from draining into the throat causing your eyes to be watery. Take restn and drink a lot of fluids.

A member asked:

Why do I always wake up with phlegm and a weird feeling in my throat but I don't experience pain or soreness? I also do not experience itchy, watery eyes or a runny nose. Could it still be considered allergies? Should I get checked out for something?
