What Could Be The Cause For Frequent Throat Pain?
I have pain on left side of my throat..where you take your pulse. I have noticed it off and on for several months...it has gotten more frequent and slightly stronger. It almost seems like it s in a gland because it seems to go in a very short line (if that makes any sense).

Hello,
It could be a sore throat or pharyngitis.
As first-line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Start a short course of antibiotics.
Do warm saline gargles.
If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
