A member asked:

I have been sick for one week with runny nose,sore throat and itch watery eyes. the whole next week with a bad sore throat with cough never got better?

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 or flu). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin can help decrease throat pain.
