Maybe. Maybe not.: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold, the flu (Tamiflu may be 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 or the flu). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin can lessen pain.
