Most sore throats are caused by viruses and have to run their course while your immune system fights the infection. If you have a high fever over 102 you should contact your doctor's office for advice as it may be a bacterial infection that requires antibiotic treatment. If you have trouble swallowing or breathing, you should seek care urgently. If there are white spots on the back of your throat or if it is severely red and swelling, having an examination is important so you can get started on treatment if it is not due to a virus.
If you try remedies and get no relief or a fever persists, then contact would also be important.
