Hi there,
I have a pain when swallowing. Both liquids and solids. It isn't a sore throat. It's on the left side of my throat inside my mouth. I don't believe it's my lymph nodes either. Someone said it might be a blocked saliva gland? I don't know if it's my tonsils or anything like that? The pain has been going on all this weekend and stays constant. It is actually very uncomfortable. How do I know what it is?
Could this be connected to my ear in someway?
Thanks for your help!

Well, i have no clue at all. But just giving you a heads up, the last two times i woke up in the morning with difficulties swallowing anything, the first time it turned out to be pneumonia a week later, and the second time it was bronchitis a week later.
Not saying thats what you have, just giving you a heads up that it may be more serious than you think.

I had what sounds similar and it turned out to be a canker sore. Mine was quite small -- thin, and hidden in the tonsil area -- and could only be seen if you REALLY looked hard. My doctor could see it (after several attempts) but dentist could not! Have a look way at the back where the pain is and see if you find anything that looks whitish with pink or red edges. The darn thing took 6 weeks to go away.
By the way, gargling with salt water really does help with all types of pains in the mouth.

Thank you for all the replies.
kitkat- Last night before I went to bed, I tried again to look in my mouth. When I moved my tongue I did see a small sore and when I touched that spot, I could feel that this sore was causing the pain. This is so odd! I never had a canker sore back that far before! Guess anything's possible because I do get a lot of canker sores and the like..
thanks again! I hope it goes away soon!
