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 lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can help decrease pain.

Sort throat: May be you have a sore throat. Use Motrin 400 mg/2 tablets 3 times a day for 2-3 days. If no improvement go to the doctor for evaluation.

Get it: checked out "hands on" you need to determine whether the pain is in your throat (pharyngitis) or your neck (eg: thyroiditis) A simple medical exam will do it! Hope this helps! Dr Z
