For the past week and a half I have had a weird feeling on the left side of my throat. it started with a dry patch sort of feeling, then i got a soreness in my neck which when i went to the doctor they told me it was a virus and it needed to take its course. So that went away, but now it feels like there is a flapping sensation every time i swallow on the left side of my throat, around my tonsil area. What does this mean?
Hi, Welcome to healthcare magic. I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern. This could peritonsilar abscess. I recommend the following. 1) A course of antibiotics. 2) Analgesic like tablet paracetamol for pain relief. 3) Salt water gargling. You will be fine. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help. Wish you a good health and speedy recovery. Regards, Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS Consultant ENT Surgeon
