What is your mental check list of the differential diagnosis? This should be the first thing you do. From the differential diagnosis, you can come up with questions to ask.
My mental check lists:

Pharyngitis
Strep throat
Yelling too much
Retropharyngeal abscess
Post nasal drip
Asthma
nasal pharyngeal cancer

What is the patient age?
