General guidance on possible causes, red flags and which specialists may be appropriate for people with about two weeks of morning throat burning and nighttime nasal congestion.
Why do I have a burning sensation in my throat when I wake up and nasal congestion at night?
These symptoms may be related to allergy, but other causes are possible, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), an upper respiratory tract infection, or environmental irritants. That symptoms are worse in the morning and improve during the day suggests an allergic pattern or exposure to triggers present at night. Note whether you are exposed at home to dust, pollen, pet dander, or tobacco smoke. If you have emergency signs such as fever, severe cough or sputum with blood, shortness of breath, or altered consciousness, seek immediate emergency care. For symptoms lasting longer than two weeks, worsening symptoms, or if they significantly affect daily life, consult your family physician, an Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) specialist, or an Immunology and Allergic Diseases specialist. Low-risk home measures that some people find helpful include regular bedroom ventilation, avoiding tobacco smoke, frequent washing of bedding and pillowcases, and tracking symptom triggers — discuss these with a health professional before making decisions.
The following possibilities are commonly associated with these complaints but a clinical exam and, if needed, further testing are required for diagnosis.
Low‑risk measures that may reduce symptoms for some people. Discuss major changes with your clinician.

Initial guidance on which specialty could help with evaluation and management.
For symptoms lasting more than two weeks, worsening symptoms, or those that affect daily life, see your family physician or an ENT specialist. If you have fever, shortness of breath, or bloody sputum, go to emergency care immediately.
Worse symptoms at night and in the morning can suggest allergic triggers. Observe and note indoor triggers (dust, pets, pollen, tobacco smoke); your family doctor or an Immunology and Allergic Diseases specialist can advise on testing and evaluation if needed.
Regular ventilation of the room, avoiding tobacco smoke, frequent washing of bedding, and monitoring triggers are low‑risk measures that may help. Consult a health professional before starting new measures.
