For the past 3 days I have had a sore throat, and since yesterday I have been experiencing hot flashes/chills. Should I see a doctor?

Based on your symptoms of a sore throat and chills without a fever, it may be worth monitoring your condition for any further symptoms before rushing to see a doctor. If you are not experiencing difficulty swallowing, changes in your voice, or swelling in your neck, it may be okay to wait and see if your symptoms improve on their own. If you have a history of strep throat, there are criteria that can help determine if antibiotics are necessary. Consider using a tool like the Centor criteria to assess the likelihood of needing antibiotics for your current condition. Many throat issues are viral and will resolve on their own, so it may not always require immediate medical attention.
