I had a cold last week and now i have sore throat again is this another cold or residue from last weeks ?

Viral infection: A cold followed by a sore throat in a week is most likely the same virus that started with a cold a week ago. You do not need an antibiotic. Fluids, supportive treatment and time. If you are getting worse after 10 days, see your physician.
