YES
If your throat pain has anything to do with an infection of the respiratory tract, including loans, yes, the throat pain may be associated with a respiratory infection and you should have that evaluated by someone looking in your throat and considering a chest X-ray if the clinical exam suggests a need for chest X-ray.
