One-sided throat pain, even swallowing hurts

Many people in life often feel sore throats. Some people have sore throats due to getting angry, some due to tonsillitis, and some patients may have pharyngitis. In fact, the throat is divided into several sides. Some people have sore throats on one side, and some people feel pain in the entire throat. So why is it that the sore throat hurts when swallowing water?

It should be caused by acute tonsillitis on the left side. The main symptoms of acute tonsillitis are severe throat pain, often radiating to the ears, accompanied by difficulty swallowing. Acute suppurative tonsillitis often presents with systemic symptoms such as chills, high fever, and headache. Traditional Chinese medicine calls acute tonsillitis "rotten milk tonsils" and "throat tonsils wind".

Beta-hemolytic streptococci are the main pathogens of this disease. Staphylococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae, adenovirus or rhinovirus can also cause this disease. Active anti-inflammatory treatment is required for this disease, with penicillin being the first choice. Whether it is administered orally or by intravenous drip depends on the severity of the disease. If you are allergic to penicillin or your condition does not improve after 3 days of treatment, you need to use other types of antibiotics. Glucocorticoids may also be used as appropriate. This disease is contagious to a certain extent and should be isolated appropriately. Pay attention to rest, eat light and easily digestible food, drink plenty of boiled water, sweat appropriately, and keep bowel movements smooth. If tonsillitis recurs or complications already exist, surgical removal can be performed after the inflammation subsides.

It is considered to be unilateral tonsillitis, and the recent warming of the weather has caused liver fire to become more severe, so this situation often occurs. According to your situation, I suggest you use the following medicines for treatment: Azithromycin Tablets, Liyanling Tablets, Qinghuo Capsules, and Xuanmai Granules. You can use them for a week to see how effective they are.
