Dr. can check throat: Throat pain in a college-aged person can be from strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), mono from EB virus, or another cause such as allergies, irritants, or stomach acid reflux. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (such as in this case).

Sore throat: You have a recurring problem that does not respond to homeopathic. Please immediately see your General Physician or an ENT to determine whether the cause of your symptoms is viral, bacterial, or both, and to have the correct medical treatment provided.
