What Causes Persistent Sore Throat And A Pus Pocket Behind The Throat?

I have a continual sore throat. Only on one side. I can on the back of my throat on the right side a yellow bump. It was there all of july - the beginning of Oct. It went away all of Oct and back just of last night. It hurts and makes me super tired. I also have a rash on my chin on both sides and Im not sure if they are related.

Persistent sore throat and a pus pocket behind the throat seems to be due to infection of upper respiratory tract and due to inflammation of tonsils. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. You should take warm water sip by sip. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with anti-allergic medication Levocetirizine. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food.
