Dr. can evaluate: 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 very bothersome or doesn't go away quickly, or one has odd symptoms like being "very drowsy". Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can decrease throat pain.
