I have my second viral sore throat in less than a month. So far, this one doesn't hurt as bad. Is there any reason to hope that this one will be less severe or won't last as long given the fact that I just recently got over a sore throat?

I'm having the same problems. I woke up with a slight sore throat and this is the third time I've been sick in two months. This past time was really bad. I don't know where you live but here in PA, the mild winter might be causing it and allergies since it's so warm. I'm sick of being sick.

yes me to. I also have been sick for the 2nd time this month and its the 3rd time this year. my first one wasn't that bad, but lost my voice. The 2nd was way worse and ever since i got sick the first time i had a slight sore throat and hasn't gone away for about a month now
