Hi there the illness you are talking about could possiblybe the cause of strep throat, a bacterial infection or a virus of the throat.
Lots of things - you need to see a doctor
It is possible, but not likely.
Not necessarily. You could just be clearing out your throat, but you could also have an underlying illness. You'd need to know why you are coughing before you can establish if you are sick or not.
Life threatening means that you could lose your life over it. If you have a life threatening illness, it is possible that you could lose your life over the illness.
Yes, it is possible. If you watch 1000 ways to die, it will show a daredevil swallowing a cue ball but gets stuck in his throat and then dies. By: your FACE!!
lots of things. nerves. bad food. illness. putting your fingers down your throat. eating grass.
Well it could mean your throat is dry, or it could mean there's something wrong with your tonsils, OR you may have strep throat. Ask a doctor.
The above are symptoms. They could indicate anything from a mild cold to a terminal illness. This is why you should always seek a doctors opinion.
Their could be any number of possible diagnoses; it's a common problem.
Sore throat or if it hurts really, really bad it could be strep throat
Sore throat is one symptom but strep throat is syrep throat
The doctor is most likely looking for symptoms of what that illness could be. Anything from a rash, stiff joints, sore throat, ect.
It's possible that it's acid reflux.
