Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had throat pain on the left side only for about 3 days now. I recently got over pneumonia and completed antibiotics for that about 3 weeks ago. I am having increasing pain when I swallow. Should I see the doctor, or how can I tell if its just a sore throat
Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.
I think you have to consent a physician for proper posterior pharygeal examination . Salt water gargle helpful for sore throat. Start proper antibiotics under doctor's suggestion.
Thank you.
