Doctor can evaluate: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics needed), a cold or mild flu (antibiotics are not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away in a day or two (mainly to check for strep). With bad symptoms, one may have ears and sinus infection (antibiotics needed).

Allergy or Sinusitis: This sounds like a very bad allergy that has turned into a sinus infection. Probably needs to be treated with a combination of antihistamines, decongestants, and antibiotics. Consult your family doctor or internist first, or an ENT specialist if you have one.
