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?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
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.

Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
