People including children may experience a cough and sore throat, but no fever. Causes of this can include a simple irritation, infection, or obstruction in the throat. Coughing is a natural reflex that helps clear the airways of mucus and other irritants. People often experience a cough alongside a fever, but this is not always the case.
