Sore throat and common cold are commonest presentation of a viral fever, and viral fevers are known to reduce immunity to some extent leaving the body prone to infections, better to get it tested , may not be mandatory
Hello.welcome.A simple urine exam tells so many things about our body that it can't be imagined by a non medical person.Your doctor has done rightly to ask for this test to be done.Good luck.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
You are right both are not connected so one may feel wondered urine examination in throat infection.
I think there are 2 possibilities,
1,Routine check of urine.
2,urine check up for presence of urine sugar.
Ok and bye.
