Can't Swallow

[jennyjoan]

Can't swallow too well this morning on the left side. Unbelievably have an appointment to see doctor re other ailments so will get him/her to look.

Anything I can take to make it easier. Very very very long time since I had one.

Not enough information to be of any use.
Is it painful to swallow?
Is it difficult for solids or liquids or both?
Did it come on suddenly?
As a guess......it is no big deal.

Not enough "sorrys".......;-)

It could be tonsillitis.....either bacterial or viral.
Until you see you GP.....Ibuprofen and Islay's suggestion.

ok Sqad - my appointment is on Tuesday - haven't gargled for years but tried there with some mild mouth wash.

Excellent ^^

From someone who was plagued with tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and glandular fever for years, I found a combination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol gave good relief.
