What Causes Sore Throat?
I have a sore throat, but it's just on one side of my throut (the RT side). The pain seems to be isolated just in one spot, but radiates up to my ear. Sometimes the pain is worse than other times...it's not a consistent soreness. But I always feel it when I swallow, and the pain is worse when I eat spicy or sweet foods.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat which is due to infection of upper respiratory tract and it could be due to inflammation of tonsils. Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should take warm water sip by sip. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic 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. Drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
