Sore throat : It sounds like you have pharyngitis or a 'sore throat'. If you've just had a medical procedure done, it's important to check in with the doctor/team that did that. They may have a very good idea as to 'why' you have those symptoms now. If the pain is really that bad, probably you need a professional to look into the back of your throat. You wouldn't want to ignore Strep throat, Mono etc.

For my sister. Every time I take a bite of food or swallow, it feels like pins and needles stabbing inside my ear and throat (only on right side). This happens regardless of what side I chew on. Feels like my glands are swollen. What could this be?

Feels like something stuck in my throat every time I swallow. There is no burning sensation, but when this does occur it feels like my chest cramps up up and I feel weak. Legs and arms seems to get pins and needles more often & easier. ?
