Tender throat on right side no pain wen swallowin but i feel it when clearing my throat and eating spicy food i also feel mucus is it an infection?

Probably not: Based on what was stated, and you are not a smoker with any other medical history, the most probable cause is GERD (see below). Would recommend cutting back on or eliminating tomatoes, onions, caffeine, alcohol, mint, chocolate, and citrus fruits. Also no food for 1 hour before bedtime and no tight clothing at the waist. Over the counter antacids as needed. If no improvement within a week see MD
