Dr. can check it out: 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 her doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). If malaria is common in a patient's area, she can ask her doctor about it too.
