"Do I have a sore throat?"

If you are experiencing symptoms like a sore throat, it is likely due to a viral infection. In most cases, no specific treatment is necessary besides rest, staying hydrated, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers if needed. If your symptoms persist for more than a week or worsen, it is recommended to consult a doctor. There are products available for gargling that can provide temporary relief, but it is best to follow the advice of a medical professional if your symptoms persist or worsen. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to determine the exact cause of these symptoms without a medical evaluation.
