Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the pain and discomfort in throat particularly more over one side may be in concern with various inflammation conditions as

- strep throat
- viral infection with adeno or rhino
- epiglottitis
- tonsillitis
- adenoiditis
- others

Guidelines for better recovery

- plenty of liquids including boiled water
- gargles with salted lukewarm water
- avoid cold drinks, dairy products
- avoid smoking, alcohol if consuming
- analgesic tablets as ibuprofen or diclofenac after meals if no history of drug sensitivity
- prescription of antibiotics covering mainly gram positive bugs as penicillin, fluroquinolones or others from your primary care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
