Get it Checked by GP: It is rather difficult to say what it could be without examining your throat.You have had Influenza which lasted for three weeks.It could be a new throat infection.I will suggest you consult your GP and let him have a look at your throat to rule out strep throat which may need to br treated with Antibiotics
