Dr. can check it out: Throat symptoms can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), tonsil abscess; or a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from another 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. Feeling "hard to breathe" can be an emergency needing an ambulance, depending on severity.
