Brief Answer:
Nasal pathology.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Frequent nasal congestion can be due to some nasal pathology like a nasal septum deviation or sinusitis.

Sore throat is due to post nasal drip caused by nasal congestion.
You should get an x-ray paranasal sinuses done and send me the picture of her throat so that I can suggest you better and advice you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care.
