I'm here. I don't usually read this forum, so thanks for the PM, BA. And thanks for the kind words, Aleta. I'm still relaxing in New Hampshire but don't mind checking in for a little medical info.
Certainly, any symptom that has persisted for a month warrants looking into. You didn't mention anything about this affecting your voice - hoarse, weak, losing, etc., so it doesn't sound like your vocal cords are involved.
Sounds most likely viral, though a throat culture would certainly be in order to rule out strep. I'm assuming it hasn't responded to simple stuff like Tylenol or Advil or gargling with salt water or using OTC cold remedies.
So my final answer is to see your doctor.
