Sore Throat When Yawning Or Swallowing, Causes Difficulty In Sleeping, On Turning The Head, On Omeprazole. What Could Be Wrong?
Hi, the last few days I have woke up with my left side of throat being sore.. Especially when yawning or swallowing . It even wakes me up when I m sleeping due to the pain. Also if I turn my head left its sore but to the right it s ok.. The only antibiotic I am on is omeprazole as my doctor thinks I have to much acid in my stomach, which I ve been taking for 2 1/2 weeks now.. What could be wrong with me?

1. Muscular pain - most likely. May be because of sprain of neck muscles may be due to trauma or sleeping on one side
2. Peritonsilar abscess- It refers to the collection of pus arounf tonsil. Usually associate deith infection of tonsil
3. Acute infection of throat - A viral or bacterial infection of throat may also present like this
