A member asked:

I been having scratchy and sore throat for a few days no fever i have a red dot or bump in my throat what do i have. i'm curious ? it's not itchy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: Throat pain can be from 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 a doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to see about antibiotics).
