Thank you for use the website, about your question Its probably that you have some inflammatory process in your lower side related with your right tonsils or near structure, I advise you to make some warm and salty gargle 3 times a day and after drink an spoon of honey( any kind works) if after 14 days the discomfort continue ( it's supposed that any benign inflammatory process improve after 14 days) you need to visit the doctor for an exam, remember that the cigarette smoke contain over 5000 chemicals including 69 known cancer causing and it's possible that's your problem cause, not eat spicy, extremely hot or cold food can help you too, I hope that my advice make you feel better.
