Hi.
Thanks for your query, read and understood your concerns:
You should see an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation and investigations as needed.
Noted your cancer of the breast and now the thyroidectomy for pre-cancerous nodules and have very sore throat, swollen glands, This is only on the right side and have lost voice for 3 days.
This looks to be due to granular pharyngitis.
Proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines should help you.
