How long should a sote throat last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-7 days: It depends on the cause but most sore throats are self limited and resolve in a few days. Sore throat in the morning that resolves after a few hours and returns the next morning is usually due to post-nasal drip and can last for weeks or longer.
