Yes: That will be a wise idea. I suggest seeing your PCP at earliest convenience. Most self limited infections resolve in 7-10 days.

If it has been: 2 weeks, I would recommend going in for an evaluation. You may require treatment. Best of luck!

Yes: Just get it checked to make sure you're not harboring chronic bacterial infection in your throat.
