A member asked:
It been about a week & i've been having a very mild soar throat with no other symptoms. i don't know what this can be??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are 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 throat).
