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 throat). Throat cancer is much rarer than all the other causes of sore throats.

Wisdom Tooth?: At the age of 20, if you have not had your wisdom teeth removed, an impacted wisdom tooth, whether in the upper or lower jaw could be a possible cause for your pain. A visit with your dentist with the appropriate x-rays and exam may help provide you with a diagnosis.
