A member asked:
I have a sore throat. and some painful bumps in my throat. what can be the cause? and how can i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can examine: New 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). Some throat lozenges and Tylenol or Motrin can temporarily decrease pain.
