A member asked:

I am experiencing sore throat, loss of voice, hoarse voice, cough (quality: barky, hoarse, or hacking sounds, with phelgm or mucus) (worsened by: worse at night) and runny nose.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. can check throat: Throat symptoms can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or other virus (antibiotics usually not used), allergies or irritants, sinusitis, stomach reflux when asleep, etc... Usually, one sees the doctor if the throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep and review details to see if laryngitis, bronchitis, etc., are present).
