A cold for few days with fever. fever is gone but throat is still red, ulsers on sides, and my uvula is slightly swollen. will throat resolve itself?

Doctor can examine: Throat pain can be from a 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 throat). Some throat lozenges and acetaminophen can temporarily decrease pain.
