It`s only on the left side of my throat and when i stuck my finger down my throat i could feel right where the pain was.What can i take to make this go away.I had a sore throat this long.And what`s strange is it went away a week ago and now it`s came back.Like i said it`s not like a sore throat from a cold.It`s a pain that goes with it.

I think you need to have this checked out by a doctor. It could be any number of things, even a node. It could be a lingering infection. Let a doctor look at it and then you'll know for sure and you can get whatever treatment you may need. You don't need to be in pain like this. My heart goes out to you and I will pray that you get well soon.

your 'sore throat' could now be a laryngitis or tonsilitis. thats an infection that usually does not go away by itself = you prob will have to take antibiotics (most likely doxizycline). indicator for that is swating (=>fever) trouble swallowing (+ a lot of pain i would guess).\nwhen your breath begins to smell different, its an other indicator for the infections mentioned above.\nto make sure please go and see your doctor.\n\ngood luck

Since your throat only hurts on and off it is probably due to draining of the sinuses.  You can gargle with salt water to help the soreness.  For the congestion, I would suggest you go and take a nice hot shower, and let it spray on the base of your head, that should help at least temporarily.  You didn't say what the antibiotic is, but it's probably some sort of penicillin.  If you take it, just make sure you drink plenty of water with it, and watch for signs of allergic reaction.\nAlso, a decongestant/antihistamine should help also.\nGood Luck.

Ok as strange as this may sound, I have an experience that happened to my sister that may help (or not). She had the same sensation.......something stuck in her throat. What happened was that she swallowed a pill and then went to bed. The next morning she woke up and it felt just like the pill was lodged in her throat. (Same sort of symptoms as you). Long story short.......after much aggravation and people telling her she was crazy and that the pill couldn't possibly be lodged in her throat, she saw a doctor. As it turned out.....she had swallowed the pill, but not with enough water. So as she slept that night, the pill stayed in her throat, but disintegrated as the night went on. However, it stayed long enough to actually cause an ulceration in her throat. Therefore, when she swallowed, she "felt" the sensation greatly. \n\nPerhaps at some point in time, something lodged there....and stayed long enough to cause an ulceration or an irritation. Perhaps see your doctor and they can do an endoscopy as see. *shrugs* Again.......just a guess.....just a possibility. Good luck.....I so hope you solve this and start to feel better!

Not related.  Watch your throat, is it gets hard to swallow you may have strep and need antibiotics.  Sounds like you have a good sprain/strain too.  Looks like you are headed for a miserable weekend.....

It could be refereed pain.  Pain coming from either another tooth in that area or even above that area.   The mouth is very tricky when it comes to figuring out where the actual pain is coming from.  best thing to do is go to your dentist.  until then try taking some Advil (no more then 800mg every 6 hours).  You can also put ice on that side of your mouth which can help with the pain and if you have any swelling.  Put the ice on for 10 Min's, take it off for 10 and then back on for 10.  Do this for 30 Min's.  What ever you do, DONT PUT HEAT ON IT!  If you have an infection, it can get worse.  Good luck.

A persistent sore throat requires medical treatment.  You may require an antibiotic.  See your doctor.

Strep doesn't always come with fever.  It's from sinus drainage down the back of your throat.  This is strictly from my DR Mom experience.  It's good you're going to a doctor.  They will do a culture to make sure and prescribe antibiotics.  In the mean time, ibuprofen will help with the pain (alittle) and chloraseptic throat spray.  Good luck and hope you feel better.

It could be caused from many things..a cold, sinus problems, dry air, etc. One thing I do when I get a sore throat is sip some chamomile tea. It really helps! Otherwise, I would suggest taking some pain relievers and sucking on throat drops or just drinking anything warm in general. Hope my advice helps!

It sounds as though you're coming down with a cold or possibly a throat infection.  Since this has apparently come on rather suddenly, I'd put money on it being a strep infection.  If it's still hurting by the time your doctor's office opens, call them and make an appointment to be seen; if it's just a virus, there's no harm done, and if it's strep, it should be treated promptly.

I'm not sure but I noticed that you have posted several questions about sore throats.  If you are getting sore throats often and they are taking a long time to heal you should definitely have your tonsils taken out.  I used to get sore throats all winter long.  They would last for weeks at a time.  I had my tonsils out at 18 (which is one of the most painful things I have ever experienced) and I haven't had a sore throat since.  (I'm 23 now.)  I would like to suggest that you see a throat specialist.  Like you, the doctors kept giving me antibiotics and penicillin and nothing worked.  My mom took me to a specialist and he solved the problem.  I hope you find something that works out for you.

Probably not a tumor but get it checked. Have you been checked for mono or strep throat? They both hurt when you swallow.

A mild sore throat associated with cold or flu symptoms can be made more comfortable with the following remedies: \n\nIncrease your liquid intake. \n\nWarm tea with honey is a favorite home remedy. \n\nUse a steamer or humidifier in your bedroom. \n\nGargle with warm salt water several times daily: ¼ tsp. salt to ½ cup water. \n\nTake over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol Sore Throat®, Tempra®) or ibuprofen (Motrin IB®, Advil®).\n\nI hope that helps.

If the pain persists you should see a health professional. Most likely it's nothing, maybe a pulled muscle or something. But if it is more serious, you want to know sooner rather than later so you can deal with the problem. Good luck!

Apart from the obvious, go see the Doctor.  It sounds like you have had a throat infection which has moved to your chest.  The antibiotics you took were probably the wrong spectrum as they woundn't be having an effect if you stopped taking them over a week ago.  It may already be neumonia.  GO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR! As it could be loads of things
