At age 50...: Nose and throat symptoms can be from cold viruses, strep throat, allergies, irritants, etc... Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell what the cause is. For symptoms lasting days, it's more likely allergies, irritation, or infection. Doctors have rapid tests for strep, to help diagnose what the cause most likely is. For a persistent symptom at age 50, a doctor will worry a bit about cancer too.

Agree with Dr. K: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
