Unbearable Throat Pain

2017-11-14 02:57:44
I have been having too much pain in my throat since 2 days. All this started with a cold ,cough and fever 5days ago. Last night I could not sleep because of the pain in my throat. Also I 'm facing difficulty swallowing even the saliva. The pain is more inside the left and the throat is very much sore that it almost brings tears to my eyes.Please suggest what medication should I take? Is it tonsillitis?

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
