Hello. i have had a sore throat for the past 2 weeks or so. its specifically sore on the right under the jaw and going down my neck. is it dental or?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sore throat: What you are describing sounds like it may be an infection that requires immediate treatment. Please see your Dentist ASAP. If not of Dental origin, your Dentist will refer you to your Physician.
