Doctor can recheck: 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. A person usually sees her pediatrician or family doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). If symptoms are odd, an ENT doctor can evaluate.
