For the last four weeks, my throat hurts on the lest side when I swallow saliva but feel completely normal when I eat and drink. My nose does feel stuffy but a local MD says a sinus infection is unlikely albeit nasal stuffiness has in the past been linked to issues with my sinus. I have no lumps anywhere on the neck area. I am concerned that these symptoms have lasted as long as this and hence seeking your thoughts and advice as to what this may be and what course of action you would recommend. I look forward to hearing from you.
