Sore throat to one side
I have a sore throat on one side, was asking this question due to never having such symptoms before, I can feel one side of my lymph nodes are swollen (same side as the throat) and also on the same side the outside near where the jaw bone ends is really painful to touch. I've only had it from today and last night but this afternoon it has become a lot more painful.
