Hi, My right side throat hurts when i swallow. It feels like i had swallowed a ball and it hurts every time I swallow my own saliva. This morning it started off like i swallowed a peanut and now it feels like something bigger is stuck on the right inner side of my throat. When I felt the inside of it, I feel small pimples as far as I can reach. The swelling is not visible outside. My right ear also feels plugged, like there is pressure and I need to pop it! I have had a bad cough for about a week now. I don’t know if that is the cause of it. I have been drinking warm water all day and forcing myself swallow painfully. Please help, I need to know how to deal with it.
