What Causes Sore Throat Along With Difficulty Swallowing

I woke up today with the right side of my throat being really sore and it s hard to swallow. I just noticed a black spot in the back of my throat and I swabbed it with a cotton swab and there was blood and mucus on it. I ve had this pain a lot before but never noticed the black spot, it comes out of nowhere and then will suddenly leave. I have also been having a really bad cough.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such condition could be due to allergic condition you ought not to swabbing it may have caused trauma, it need to be done by the ENT surgeon only, if it is done without ENT surgeon then it may come with blood stain because this might have caused the trauma, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
