And other things...: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor (call first) if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly. COVID-19 infections tend to have cough, whereas strep usually lacks cough but has more throat pain.

COVID 19 concerns: Have you had any COVID 19 contacts? Are there many COVID 19 infections in your area? Your symptoms might be due to COVID 19 or could be due to bacterial infections or other viral infections. A telemedicine assessment may help to differentiate. In South Africa- one consults with a medical provider who will determine need for COVID 19 testing.
