Doctor can check: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold, influenza or adenovirus (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies, irritants, or acid reflux. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the symptoms are bothersome, recurrent or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). Parents can try to avoid spreading illnesses to newborns.
