What Causes Sore Throat On Right Side?
Horrible sore throat for 5 days only on my right side and right ear. Went for strep culture but was negative. Can t swallow, talk, and can only eat soup. I have been using warm salt water, cough drops, throat spray, and lots of warm tea. What is this?!? No cold symptoms

Hi and thanks for the query,
i guess you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection.
nothing to worry.
continue the salt water gargles 4 times daily, have lots of warm fluids and avoid the air conditioning.
if you do not get better in 2 more days then you may require antibiotics so please pay a visit to the doctor.
till then you can take any pain killer after checking the dosage.

dr rajkishori.
