Should I go back to see my doctor or is there something I can do to solve the problem on my own?

If you are experiencing recurring sore throat and symptoms even after finishing a course of prescribed antibiotics, it may be a good idea to consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment. They can determine if there is an underlying infection that needs to be addressed. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relievers, throat lozenges, nasal saline solutions, and staying well-hydrated can help alleviate some of your symptoms. If your symptoms persist for more than 7 days without improvement, seeking medical advice is recommended.
