Doctor can evaluate: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or flu (antibiotics are 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 in a day or two (mainly to check for strep throat). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) temporarily lessens throat pain.
