This is an observed pattern for either viral infection or strep. In the absence of testing there is little more to say. If strep is confirmed and treatment is started within 10 days of 1st symptoms, you can avoid the later complications of untreated strep. A viral issue would eventually fade after a few weeks.

I have some mucus or postnasal drip in the back of my throat. No cough, no fever, stuffy nose, but my throats feels irritated. Not sore because I eat and drink just fine. What could be going on? I have a newborn so I don't want to be contagious.
