What Could Sore Throat And Heaviness Of Head Indicate?

I have sore throat, pain in right side of throat (one side), right ear and backside of right ear and right side neck. Heaviness in head, something struck like feeling in the right side throat since 20 days.
I have taken Enractin Plus, Imol Plus, Almox and no relief. I am very much worried. Is it cancer?

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.

Don't directly jump over cancer as you are having somewhat difficult swallowing...

I would like to suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for throat and posterior pharynx examination.

Your lymph nodes should be palpated.
Posterior pharynx examined ...
It might show tonsillar abscess or tonsilitis....
Here second possibility could be bacterial infection of floor of mouth...below tongue ...that is called Ludwig angina....
If needed swab taken and according to sensitivity report antibiotic given.
If large abscess there then incision and drainage needed.

Salt water gargle done.
Excess spicy food limited....
Avoid smoking...

Take care.
