A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: Throat symptoms can be from a strep infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or the flu (antibiotics usually not needed), or from another cause such as allergies, irritants, other viruses, etc... A person may see a doctor if throat symptoms are bothersome, recurrent, or don't go away quickly. One's doctor can examine. Of course, having the flu does not mean a person cannot catch something else.
