I have a sore throat at night and tender to touch around throat area, on the outside, almost sleeping at work it's unusual ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore throat /sleep: Consider reflux and sleep apnea. Reflux at night would cause the sore throat as the acid refluxes into the throat. You can take ranitidine and omeprazole. for that and when you sleep elevate the head of bed with a pillow under the mattress. Also check for H pylori, a bacteria associated with reflux. Sleep apnea would make you sleepy during the day .F/U with doctor /urgent care
