Not all sore throats cause a fever. Your throat could be sore because it is dry or from inhaling an irritant such as cigarette smoke or even smog in the air. Post-nasal drip caused by mucus draining from your sinuses down the back of your throat will also cause a sore throat.

If your throat is very red or red with white or gray patches, call your doctor or clinic.

A sore throat caused by irritants or from lack of moisture in the air, will respond to drinking water or gentle gargling with a mild salt water rinse. If this doesn't improve, with or with out a fever. Give your doctors office a call.
