A member asked:
Pain when swallowing, tender to touch front of neck (i think around thyroid gland) should i see a dr or is it just sore throat?

Yes: You should see a doctor if you're having sore throat and the other symptoms you described, as it could be from a strep infection, which would require antibiotics. It may be viral as well, but without an exam and possible testing, there's no way to know for sure.
