A member asked:

I am suffering from a sore throat which makes it uneasy to breathe and when i sneeze i feel a sharp pain on the upper body, so what do you recommend for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. can check it out: New throat pain 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 a doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Some throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin can lessen pain.
