If your throat only hurts at night.
The cause could be something as simple as talking all day or a serious infection. If you have other symptoms, such as a fever or night sweats, your sore throat is likely due to an underlying condition.
The cause could be:
- Allergies;
- Postnasal drip;
- Dry air in the room;
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease;
- Muscle strain;
- Epiglottitis;
- A viral or bacterial infection of the throat.
If you have a sore throat that lasts for a long time, it is recommended that you see a doctor to determine the cause.

- Blood in your saliva or sputum;

- Sudden fever;
- A lump in your throat;
