Throat pain: Several reasons for throat pain exist, but for someone your age there are 2 primary ones. Tonsils and adenoids are a common reason for pain and can be treated with antibiotics, maybe even surgery. Wisdom teeth, especially impacted ones can also cause pain in your throat. A quick exam by your physician can probably solve it.

See ENT doc: Not normal. Treat symptomatically. If persists beyond a few days, see ENT doc.

Sign of infection: Your symptoms can be caused by anything from a throat infection to a toothache. Treatment options for painful swallowing depend on the cause of the pain. See your primary care physician if the pain is severe or if it interferes with eating, drinking, or breathing.
