Dr. can evaluate: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or the flu (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Continuing cough may be from wheezing or bronchitis. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the symptoms are bothersome, recurrent, or don't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat, wheezing, or bronchitis).
