A member asked:

Right side of my throat burns bad, burns when i swallow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Laura Anissian answered

Burn or pain?: Is it a burning sensation or pain? Burning could be that you have an irritation, sore in the throat. Try some salt water, room temperature gargle and see if this helps.
