A member asked:
I'm not sick at all but my throat has been swollen for 2 weeks now what could be causing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. can check throat: New throat symptoms 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 the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). Couple days of throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can lessen pain.
