My throat is sore and when i look in the mirror it is very red. i also am coughing like a dog bark. what could that be?

Doctor can evaluate: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or mild flu (antibiotics are 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 in a day or two (mainly to check for strep throat). Barky cough can be caused by Parainfluenza virus, a cause of croup.
