I have done something to the left side of my throat. When I lay on on my side it throbs, I feel much pressure. The throbbing goes into my ear and gums as if I have a tooth ache (all teeth removed over a year ago.) It is hard to swallow on the left side. After being vertical for about 10 minuted the symtomd seem to subside. I did choke on food earlier in the week that took my breath away, luckily I was able to continue coughing. I also cleaned an elderly womans home that was extremely dusty with no protective wear. I am alergic to Iboprphin, motrin...anything with anti-swelling agents besides ice and elivation I do have seizures if I become overly tired or stressed. I currently do not have medical insurance, I recently lost my job. I have been pumping fluids, tylenol as directed, gargling rotating with listerine and salt water, trying to keep my head and neck vertical
