Help? i have had a sore throat 6 days should i go doctors?

Although it may be: Viral - if significantly sore it would be worth getting checked for strep or mono. For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician ; get a strep throat test/ culture. If you have strep throat, antibiotic therapy is imperative to prevent future complications. Consider tylenol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Try saltwater gargles.
