I have a weird pain on the left side of the my throat (not a sore throat feeling). When I press on it I feel it move. Doesn t hurt to swallow, just a weird uncomfortable pain. I am 6/1, 245 lbs, and medicated for high BP, Cholesterol, and have occasional kidney stones (last attack was last week).

Hello,

As per your query, you have symptoms of throat pain with difficulty swallowing which seems to be due to tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and could be acid reflux.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid spicy, acidic, and heavy food especially at night. You should eat at least one hour before going to bed.

Do warm saline gargles thrice a day. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may order throat swab test, culture test, and examination with laryngoscope.

Doctor may prescribe proper course of antibiotics (amoxicillin or penicillin ) along with anti-inflammatory medicines.

Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist if he/she finds problem to be related with acid reflux.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
