Do you have Cold?: A virus infection of the throat can cause sore throat(pain) and difficulty with breathing through the nose due to inflammation of the upper airways. Try to use warm water gargles with added table salt. Do it 2-3 times a day for the next 2-3 days. If not better, you should go see your physician for a medical examination. Take tylenol for sore throat.

Clarify: There is a big difference between having trouble breathing and swallowing. We need to know also if this has been a recurrent problem and for how long.
