Need evaluation: The advice is correct for an evaluation of a sore throat that is not responding to conservative measures. Other infectious and non-infectious causes may result in sore throat and these should be sorted out quickly to prevent complications to yourself and potentially others in case what you have is contagious or of an infectious nature.

Sore throat: Your sore throat may be due to a post nasal drip caused by a nasal allergy. Try taking an anthistamine at bed time to relieve your symptoms
