Is it possible sore throat can cause minimal chest tightness and discomfort? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly: what ever infection is making your throat sore can also give you chest or body aches, cough, headache, fever. A sore throat that last about three days should be checked for strep. Most minor infections start to clear after threats, but can take up to two weeks to completely resolve.
