Sounds to me like the air in your room is too dry.  Try using a humidifier in your bedroom as you sleep.  This should help a great deal.

Strep throat is a bacterial infection caused by a bacteria called streptococcus.  While treating this infection with an antibiotic will speed the recovery from this infection, it is not necessary.  A relatively healthy person's immunce system can fight off this infection.

What I do if I have a sore throat is to shake a little table salt into a half glass of warm water and gargle with that.  It really helps!  Also a cup of warm tea sweetened with honey will help too.\n\nThis site lists many more remedies.

It could be caused from many things..a cold, sinus problems, dry air, etc. One thing I do when I get a sore throat is sip some chamomile tea. It really helps! Otherwise, I would suggest taking some pain relievers and sucking on throat drops or just drinking anything warm in general. Hope my advice helps!

Could be as simple as a virus. Does it feel sore?\nIt could also be tonsilitis. These (tonsils) can be a common problem and it is not uncommon for them to be removed. \nYou should see a physician. He or she will take a culture to see if it is a bacterial infection (Strep throat).\nIt is best to get problems that don't go away checked out. In most cases it is something simple and harmless. But if it is serious you won't know unless you see a doctor.

Might just be stuck due to dry throat.  Try drinking some warm water to loosen it up.

It sounds like the same thing I am dealing with, I have had laryngitis 3 times in the last 6 weeks and my throat feels raw.\nI have been  to the doc and am on my second week of antibiotics and yesterday even got a shot.\nI was told to call back at end of week and if I still cannot talk, next step is ear nose throat specialist, where they will put a scope down my throat to check my vocal chords. I am hoping I feel better before that.\nHave you been checked for mono? That was another possibility.\nFeel better.

A comparison is this: A sore throat is like having a bottle brush stuck down your throat. Tonsillitis is like having flaming lava down your throat. And, it can be hard to breathe because your adenoids swell up. \n\nEat a lot of garlic, it's an antiviral and natural antibiotic. Sage tea is also good, it tastes bad but gargle with it. Or, just use plain salt water as a gargle before bed.

you are breathing heavier thus expelling moisture from your throat causing it to dry up and become sore

I had this problem associated with a sore throat and nose bleed. Turned out the air in my room was to dry, so I put a humidifier on at night, drink plenty of water before I go to bed and keep a glass of water on my night stand. If it dosen't clear up in a week or two you may want to see a doctor.

Cloraseptic Spray or Lozenges.  But you need to know why you have a sore throat.  If it persists for more than a few days you might want to have a doc check it out.\n\nSee the WebMD article\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/cold_and_flu/hw101028.asp

What causes a sore throat? \nA sore throat can have many causes. Some of these are listed below:\n\nMany common viruses, and even the viruses that cause mononucleosis (mono) and the flu, can cause a sore throat. Some of the viruses that cause a sore throat can produce blisters in the mouth and throat ("aphthous stomatitis"). \nBreathing through the mouth can produce throat dryness and soreness. \nSinus drainage may cause a sore throat. \nA sore throat can also be caused by bacteria. The two most common bacteria to cause as sore throat are Streptococcus (which causes strep throat) and Arcanobacterium haemolyticum. Arcanobacterium causes sore throats mainly in young adults and is sometimes associated with a fine red rash. \nA sore throat that lasts for more than 2 weeks can be a sign of a serious illness, such as throat cancer or AIDS. \n\n\nThe treatment of pharyngitis will vary according to the cause.\n\nLozenges (cough medicine) are often used for short-term pain relief. \nAntibiotics are only helpful when a bacterial infection is the cause of the sore throat. For bacterial sore throats, antibiotics have been shown to only affect the degree of pain by day 4 and shorten the average natural duration by 16 hours overall (14 people need be treated for a week to reduce the duration by one day)[6]. \nGargling with warm salty water is a popular household remedy, although there is only anecdotal evidence this gives other than temporary relief and likewise for the use of aspirin gargles. \nWarm tea can help temporarily alleviate the pain of a sore throat.

If you have stiff muscles or a stiff neck or post nasal drip, your muscles in the back of your throat can become fatigued (why? your throat trys to catch the mucus as it goes down) in turn causing difficulty in swallowing.  Agitation can be the problem, I also agree that your tonsils might have something to do with it.  Go to a Ear, Nose, Throat Specialist.   I had that problem this week and I went to my specialist today.
