6. Runny Nose
Acute pharyngitis is usually caused by illnesses that will also cause some other symptoms. Among the most common are the common cold and the flu, and both of these are likely to cause the patient to have a runny nose. As such, a runny nose will often go hand in hand with a sore throat.
These illnesses can also cause inflammation of the tissues of the nasal passage, and this can lead to the passage becoming partially blocked. This is what people will generally feel as a stuffy nose. Depending on the underlying cause, patients with a sore throat will also sometimes be sneezing a lot.
