Need eval by MD: I recommend having a physician take a look if it is present for more than one week. It would be fine to start with your primary care doctor, as it may be something very simple like an irritation/scratch or a tonsil infection. If your doctor is unsure, he/she will likely send you to an ENT specialist.
