A member asked:
Since wearing a face mask, i'm having a scratchy sore throat when i swallow. can this be from the mask? no fever or other notable symptoms.

That depends: What is it made of? I have been hand-sewing masks from cloth. Many fabrics are pre-treated with chemicals. So, I tell people to wash them before use. That might be an explanation if you are wearing cloth masks.
