gardenmom5 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I had my 2nd shot Friday. other than a killer headache, I didn't have much in the way of symptoms. Last night, I started a sore throat, and it's getting worse. It could just be a uri, and the sore throat is caused by drainage. anyone have anything similar?

mommyoffive Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 My kids had Pfizer and did not have a sore throat. Allergies? Maybe check the thread on shots and people's reactions? I don't remember hearing anything about a sore throat, but maybe someone did? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2BaMom Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I had Pfizer and, with the first shot, had fairly significant flu symptoms (exhaustion, fever, chills) for 2-3 days, barely had any reaction to the 2nd shot. But, no, I personally never had a sore throat, not even after the first. I don't think a sore throat is a typical symptom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I didn’t have Pfizer, but I just wanted to say that I hope you feel better soon, Kristen!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 All three of us had Pfizer. Two of us had flu-like symptoms, but no sore throats. Hope you feel better soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just be coincidence with the sore throat. Not getting enough sleep - and it is a typical EBV flare symptom for me . . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 No sore throats here. Maybe skim the big thread on the topic? My non-doctor guess is there’s another cause. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 My guess would be dehydration or an EBV flare. Pay attention to your symptoms, though, as symptoms of the Delta variant do include sore throat. I hope you feel better soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditto Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Yes, I did have a sore throat after both of my Pfizer doses. It started (both times) about 48 hours after the shot. It wasn't horrible either time but was more than just a scratchy throat. If I am remembering correctly it lasted about 2-3 days. I was also extremely tired, lots of brain fog, and kind of achy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent EIGHT HOURS chatting with my sister at the mall yesterday. (I had expected three or hour *at the most*!) I was definitely looking for something to drink and didn't have nearly enough in that time. Beecher's didn't have any of their ginger lemonade (cry), and I wasn't willing to fork out that much for a bottle of plain water. . .did eventually.) We've had an extremely strained relationship for years. It was really good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 My youngest had a sore throat after his second shot that lasted for a couple days. I don't know if it was related to the shot or if it was his allergies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Mostly Pfizer around here. No sore throats in my family or friends. I hope you feel better soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually currently reactivated (valacyclovir pushed me into full-blown chronic fatigue. I'm off of it . . . ) and borderline flare on a good day. the sore throat has pretty much faded. Had a pretty productive day . . though finding out the mini-fridge had frost/ice buildup and someone had removed the tray separating the freezer compartment from the rest . . . . I ended up chipping it off and then I needed to just rest - and take electrolytes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardenmom5, I'm sorry I'm not really accurate with terminology for these illnesses; it sounds like a flare might be lesser than what you've been going through anyway? I'm really glad the sore throat has improved, and I hope you continue to feel better! Best wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSmomof2 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I did have a mild/scratchy sore throat after my second Pfizer. My dd did as well. (And she had her vaccine over a month after mine). It didn’t worsen or any other symptoms develop and cleared up in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
