What To Do For The Hurting In Throat?
Hello, My throat keeps hurting but its been happening on and off for the last week. Its feels swollen one day then the next I feel fine, so I do not go to the doctor. To my surprise the pain comes back, either like half a day later or I wake up with it. What do I have? Does it require to see a doctor?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The throat pain can be because of the bacterial infection of the tonsil or peritonsillar abscess. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
