A member asked:

Three days ago i woke up feeling fatigued with a headache and a bad sore throat. so far these symptoms have consistently stayed that way. is this a cold? i dont have a runny nose.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. can check it out: 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 lessen pain.
