A member asked:

Sore throat on right side only, getting worse by day, stuffiness and some swelling of glands on right side?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible strep: It sounds like you may have tonsillitis or pharyngitis. It would be good for you to see a doctor for a strep test. It could be viral but if it is a streptococcal infection you would need antibiotics.
