A doctor has provided 1 answer

You have an...: An opportunity to visit the doctor. Throat symptoms can be from strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or other virus, allergies or irritants, sinusitis, stomach acid reflux, etc... One usually sees her doctor if the throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly. One should always tell her doctor about kissing or oral sex activities, as such can mean special testing.
