Sore throat lasts for few weeks. Reddish tonsil and back of throat plus red spots on my throat. Also there is a sticky sensation stuck on my throat every morning. Please help! Can't be treated by mouthwash or warm water with salt?

The back of my mouth but not exactly my throat hurts. Its more like a pain rather than the typical sore throat. It hurts when i move my tongue, swallow, and drink water. Any ideas what i should do?

A 24-year-old female asked:

Suddenly my left side of throat sore and difficult to swallow. I don't have fever though. I suspect that I got tonsillitis. What suddenly it happens to me, doctor? And if it is tonsillitis, does gurgling salt water effective?

Sore throat on one side when I swallow. No tonsils. I see a penny sized lumpy bump way back on that right side what looks to be on the pharyngeal tongue and/or throat. What could it be, will gargling with salt water help?
