Accepted Answer

Some possibilities: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is very painful, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Serious trouble with breathing or swallowing would be an emergency.

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). A couple days of throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can decrease throat pain.

Virus? Strep?: You probably have a viral infection, or maybe strep throat. Or maybe mononucleosis -- mayge untlelated to your smoking and cough. Contact your doctor. But do try to get off cigarettes:  even if this problem isn't due to your obvious chronic bronchitis, you're on a path toward serious lung disease from smoking.

Cannot diagnose: This sounds like a viral upper respiratory tract infection, but without seeing and being able to examine you this is only a guess. If it keeps up go and see a doctor.
