A member asked:

Left side of throat hurts when swallows, talk, and laugh. what could this be? should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: But without an exam and testing for grp a strep there is no way in which to tell over the internet. See a doctor if it keeps up. Good luck.
