Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain With Swallowing Difficulty
When I swallow, it hurts on the left side of my throat, feels slightly like there is something there. I looked at the back of my throat, and the tonsil is a little larger, and a whitish colour at the back. It also hurts my ear a bit when i swallow too. Do you have any ideas on what it could be?

Hello,
It seems like you have tonsillitis, and the pain in your ear is because of enlargement of tonsils that gives pressure to the eustachian tube. I suggest to consult with doctor because you need antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
