Even if it costs more- if you had to be hospitalized later after getting sick and not going, it will cost a lot more than the clinic visit.
I am not trying to scare you- I just tend to urge people to the doctor when they have symptoms that sound like it is other than a viral thing. There isn't much a doc can do for viruses or things like colds and allergies, so it may be a waste of money, but a sore throat for a 3-4 days with no resolution doesn't sound like that, you know?
You may be able to have someone in your family shine a flashlight down your throat and look for white patches or bumps- they should be pretty noticeable. That and really red tissue.
