A member asked:
Severe throat pain for over 2 weeks now. no mucus. pain way worse in the morning, could it be caused by severe snoring? salt gargle doesn't help.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually 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 quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Two weeks is a long time to suffer throat pain... a doctor can help.
