Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of jaw pain, sore throat and pain while swallowing which seems to be due to throat infection and it could be due to pharyngitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for throat swab test and get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should take multivitamins tablet and antiallergic medication such as Levocetirizine. Take proper course of antibiotic such as Amoxicillin for 5 days. You should avoid taking outside food and cold carbonated beverages. You should take plenty of fluids. You should do warm saline gargles. You should take steam inhalation.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
