Pharyngitis: Sore throat is usually caused by an infection. Two types of germs can cause it: viruses and bacteria. People who have a sore throat caused by a virus do not usually need to see a doctor. People who have a sore throat caused by bacteria might need to see a doctor specially if your cough gets worse, your breathing gets worse, or you develop high grade fevers. They might have a type of infection called strep throat. About 1 in 10 adults who seek medical care for sore throat.
