Hi i keep producing mucus and the back of my throat seems like i am getting a cold but i am not. back of throat also looks white and bright red?

Dr. can check throat: New throat symptoms 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 the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). A couple days of throat lozenges and acetaminophen may lessen discomfort.
