 [ Symptoms ] have persistant mild moderate sore throat been nearly two weeks otc aids little relief time to see doc [ Disease ] i would say so it may be something minor like dryness due to furnace season being upon us or post nasal drip but since the symptoms are bugging you and are not responding to over the counter otc remedies you will not lose anything by seeing the doctor it could be you have a sinus infection or something else that is treatable and then you will not be uncomfortable anymore best wishes to you
