See your doctor: A sore throat that lasts beyond a week deserves an exam by tour doctor. There are a number of possibilities, some of which may require treatment. If a bacteria is at fault, you may need an antibiotic. Rarely, an abscess around the tonsil requires surgical drainage. Without seeing you, your doctor can not possibly know what is going on.
