Doctor can recheck: 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 acetaminophen or Motrin, can help decrease pain.

Recheck : Agree urgent doctor recheck either Gp or a and m. May need to check not treatable throat or chest infection

Inflammation: Your theist may be inflamed or infected as a result of a viral or bacterial throat infection. Please see your doctor who can examine your throat, take swabs and treat you accordingly. You can try salt water gargles as well and paracetamol and anti-inflammatories to help ease the pain
