It's probably drainage from your sinuses irritating the back of your throat. This will go away as you recover from your cold. But, if you get a fever or see white patches on your throat, contact your doctor. It could be Strep throat or a sinus infection. You may need antibiotics. You can gargle warm salt water for relief or try chloraseptic spray or sore throat lozenges.

Call your pediatrician...it could be a strep infection or just a cold. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water

Try drinking Arm & Hammer baking soda, put a teaspoon of this in a glass of water and it will sooth your throat. You can also try eating two teaspoons of Aunt Jemima Original syrup, this will help. you could gargle with coca-cola the carbonation will help to loosen the phlegm. Drink Gatorade, and try sucking on hard candy like life savers, popsicles will help your throat too. Eat cambells chicken noodle soup this will help your cold I know cause I'm sick too and it helps to clear nasal passages. drink lots of tea too, and it's good if you put some honey in it, but if it makes your throat hurt then don't take it. Well I hope this helps and feel better!!
