Doctor may recheck: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or another cause such as irritants or allergies (especially spring time). Usually, one sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to look for strep). If throat symptoms worsen, there could be an abscess in the tonsil area.
