What Is Causing Sore Throat Which Feels Swollen And Hurts On Swallowing Also Having Pain While Turning Head?
Hi, I have sore throat but not scratchy type associated with the flu. This feels like my throat is swollen and swallowing even my own saliva hurt. Everytime I swallow, the backs of my ears where it is close to the jaw hurt too. There's pain even when I turn my head from side to side. What is causing this?
