Yes...: You want to make sure that this is not strep throat. If it is it is important to start treatment as soon as possible. The pediatrician can do a rapid strep test and tell you in a very short period of time whether it is strep or not.

See the doctor: This could be strep throat which needs to be treated with an antibiotic. See the doctor.
