Doctor can evaluate: Throat symptoms can be from strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from other causes such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees her doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go quickly (mainly to examine, do a strep throat swab test). Having a cough makes it more likely viral, but a swab helps decide.
