What Does Right-sided Throat Ache Indicate?
I woke up with a very sore throat on the right side only. There is no swollen gland by feeling under the jaw, but feels like it when I swallow. I thought it would go away but it has remained the same. Pain when swallowing. It remains only on the right side. When I was a child I had the mumps on the left side only. thank you.

Causes of one sided throat pain could be peritonillitis/peritonsillar abscess,enlarged styloid process,salivary gland infections,mumps,parapharyngeal abscess.Start on warm salt water gargles,take acetaminophen for pain and if no relief consult your doctor for expert treatment.
