A member asked:
To the right of my daughters throat it is tender and she is having difficulty swallowing. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Difficulty swallowing means inflammation in the throat which in a child is a narrow space. This could be anything from simple post nasal drip to tonsillitis to a foreign object in the throat that she swallowed. I would bring her to the pediatrician today.
