I have a sore throat for almost 2 months, but I have no other symptoms. It is more during the evening that hurts, need to consult doctor?

Question

There are evenings that I have to take Advil for relief, it's like a sore throat, but no other symptoms. It started after a cold 2 months ago, but it never went away. I am wondering if there are other symptoms that I am not seeing and if I should seek medical attention. Thank you for your help! Thank you very much!

Hello! A sore throat should normally go away on its own after about a week! The fact that it persists for 2 months is not normal and it is important to know the cause Certain infections (streptococcus) and health problems (e.g. severe reflux) can cause sore throats and must be treated. This is why it is important to see a doctor soon! I hope I have answered your question correctly! We look forward to hearing from you!
