Possibly: Your night guard may be a carrier causing you to develop low-grade infection of the pharynx, either bacterial or fungal. I suggest sterilizing the night guard by whatever method will not harm the guard.

I was coughing up thick mucus, I had a fever, my voice was gone and my throat was sore. I was diagnosed with pharyngitis on Sunday (01/07/2018). It's been over a week now and my voice isn't back. Is this normal? How long should it take?
