A member asked:
Very thick dark green phlegm, very sore throat.... is it a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe. Maybe not.: 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. 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 Tylenol (acetaminophen) can temporarily lessen pain.
