Sore throat but only when I wake up...

lauralie27

Hey! For the past week, I have been having "strep throat" like symptons but only when I an sleeping and then wake up....has anyone else had this? During the day I feel fine, unless I nap, then it hurts again.  Nothing seems to help it either!

I was getting the same thing and then felt better when I slept my humidifier on.

There's been a viral thing going around in my area - I had a cough, congestion, etc. and the strep throat feeling, but it'd go away as I woke up. I just kept water and throat lozenges next to the bed/in my purse until I didn't need them!

It could be because of dry weather.

Try to drink lots of water and orange juice. It might help.

I assume you lay down when you sleep, if so it could be post nasal drip.  I went to the doctor and swore up and down that I had strept throat because my throat hurt sooooo bad.  She told me that it was post nasal drip and when you lay down it can gather.

This.  Also, saline spray for the nose (helps me a little with the post nasal drip, and using a neti pot.

Most likely its just drainage.  Especially since us pg ladies have issues with stuffiness a lot.  I have a sore throat in the mornings too that usually clears up once I'm up and moving.
