Suggest Treatment For Pain Behind My Left Side Of Tonsils

hi 9 months ago i stopped chewing tobacco and could not control it and soon after 3 months i started it again and also i used to smoke 2 to 3 cigarettes everyday then after 1 month it started paining very badly in my left side of the neck , tonsils infection and congestion in right side of the nose. then i visited a doctor he was able to cure my tonsils infection but my throat was still paining so he did and a small endoscopy and said that i am having a LPR after that he gave me some medicines then after that i visited him 2 more times in the duration of one month but he was unable to cure my neck pain so stopped going to him. now 5 months have passed the pain in neck has gone . but it pains very badly behind my left side or tonsils and my mouth tests bitter. i still chew tobbaco and smoke a cigarette once in 2 or 3 days. also i fell relieved when i chew cardamom and when i wind a towel around my neck. what must i do to get relief for ever.

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding severe pain in throat behind left tonsil and it is not responding to the medication taken so far.

After co-relating facts from your clinical history, probable diagnosis made earliar by your doctor and effect of medicines taken by you, it appears your pain is neural and it should be further investigated like-

1- M.R.I. neck.

2- NCV of cervical nerves.

There are chances of radiculopathy of cercical nerves. Otherwise a thorough orthopedic and neurological examination is recomonded to pin point the diagnosis.

Regards.
