Question 1

I've been having this mild pain on the right side of my throat. It's sort of around the mid to lower area, but I don't have a fever or a sore throat. It's been bothering me a bit, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any idea what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Right side throat pain with no fever or sore throat could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or even a mild infection. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, you can try gargling with warm salt water to soothe the throat. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
