A member asked:

I started with sore throat .. now i constantly clearing throat and mucus and coughing .. stuffy nose . when i drink tea or coffee seems to make worse ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Throat discomfort: Top diagnoses to think about this time of year would be strep throat, allergic sinusitis & post-nasal drip, all of which can be tied into each other. To help with symptoms, you can obtain an antihistamine like Allegra & pair it with a nasal steroid like Flonase, both are OTC. Gargle with Listerine. Plenty fluids. If you are having fevers and the mucus is yellow-green, see your doc for antibiotics.
