Dr. can check throat: New throat pain, even if one-sided, can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from another cause such as allergies, irritants, or throat ulcers. Usually, a person sees a doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). Throat lozenges can help decrease throat pain.
