Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat and right sided neck pain after removal of tooth which occurs due to dental infection that spread to upper respiratory tract and if can spread further as well if not treated properly . Y

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages.

- Take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles and rinses .

- Avoid oily and sharp food.

- Take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication.

Visit ENT specialist as well as dentist and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
