What Causes Throat Pain While Swallowing?
Hello. For the last two days I have had a sore throat on the right hand side, pain while swallowing. Around 20 mind ago the lump/difficulty swallowing suddenly disappeared: I cannot feel any obstruction now. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. I d like to know if swallowing plus from a throat abscess is harmful? Thanks for your time.
