A member asked:
Is a constant sore throat & drainage a chronis sinus infection ?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually not: It may be due to anything from acid refluxing from your stomach while you sleep to allergies to an early, easy-to-treat throat cancer. A physician office visit is indicated if it lasts two weeks or more. I'm glad you're taking a pro-active approach to your health and i wish you luck.

Chronic Sore Throat: Usually a chronic sore throat is due to a chronic irritation. This could come from chronic mouth breathing, chronic acid reflux, allergies, or a sore that does not heal. Chronic sinus infections would be low on my list as possible causes of chronic sore throat. I would suspect chronic stuffy nose with mouth breathing, perhaps snoring may be contributing.
