What Causes Soreness On Right Side Of Throat?

The right side of my throat has been sore for 2 days with my gland a little swollen on right side of neck. Very painful to swallow and feels like I have something in throat when I swallow. I just felt my soft palate with my finger and there is a very painful Knott. The Knott is on the right side of the start of my soft palate.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Acute tonsillitis (right side).

Presented with similar complaints, I usually treat my patients with:
1. A course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin.
2. Tablet Allegra 60 mg twice a day or Tablet Levocetrizine 10 mg in the evening.
3. Voice rest- avoid talking in loud voice & for a long time.
4. Stay protected from exposure to cold, dust & other allergens.
5. Steam inhalation & warm saline gargles.
6. Avoid smoking, cold food & drinks, maintain adequate hydration & take soft, non-spicy foods.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
