Pain on left side while swallowing
Last three days I have pain while swallowing. It feels like a boil. Since four days I am taking practo doctor prescribed medication for sore throat and bodyache, I am much better today but the throat pain is there. I am doing betadine gargle which gives some relief but doesn't make it go.
