What Causes Mild Pain Behind The Throat After Having A Cold?
I got sick with a cold a little over a week ago and all of the symptoms cleared up within a few days of getting it. Less than a day later I noticed a very dull aching pain in the back right side of my throat along with tooth pain whenever I eat or press my teeth together, I don t have a sinus headache so I doubt it s a sinus infection. These symptoms have not improved over the last few days at all, does anyone know what this could be?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of mild pain behind the throat after having a cold which is because of increased susceptibility of getting infected because of compromised immunity which is leading to common cold. It could be due to sinus infection as well. Need not to worry about it. You should use anti inflammatory medications such as Levocetirizine along with antibiotic such as Levofloxacin. Avoid exposure to allergens such as dust. Take meftal P for fever. Take diet rich in multivitamins along with vitamin C pellet to booster immunity. You should use mist humidifiers in room. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get examined. Start treatment after prescription. You should take probiotics in diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
