Hi there, i have had a red throat (pharynx) for about 4 months now but no pain and i was wondering what the reason could be for this. i thought it may be post nasal drip but i am unsure?

Could be: post nasal drainage can be very irritating and is a fairly common cause for a persistent sore throat. Other common causes may include acid reflux. snoring/sleep apnea, dry mouth or an inflammatory lesion.
