Hi doctor,
I have swelling on one side of the throat. It hurts to swallow and I get chills and sometimes hot flashes. My body aches. I am a 19-year-old female.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As it is associated with hot flashes, and body aches, it seems to be due to an acute viral infection. My advice is to:
If the symptoms persist, please consult with a doctor as soon as possible and run an ENT examination to rule out bacterial tonsillitis. If confirmed, antibiotics might be needed.
