What Causes Throat Pain While Swallowing?
I have had symptoms similar to a sore throat for over 2 weeks now, but it is more of a pain on one side of my throat especially when I swallow or yawn, also sensitive to touch. It never really has gone full blown sore throat like I am familiar with. What else could it be?

Hello,
It may be due to tonsillitis. For that you may require complete hemogram, throat swab after ENT consultation. You may require antibiotics after consultation. Continue steam inhalation and Betadine gargle twice a day. Take hygienic food and water. Keep your self hydrated and take balanced diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
