How to Stop Your Throat from Hurting. Sore throats can be caused by allergies, excessive talking or yelling, pollution, or respiratory infections. Just as there are numerous causes of a sore throat, there are also many remedies.
I've had a sore throat on the back of the right side of my throat a few days, extreme extreme pain when i swallow.My right hear has a pretty steady pain as well, and the back of my head/neck on the right side has hurt as well. The pain is most extreme at night and early in the morning, very bad at these times....our sore throat could either be from bacteria or a virus. Your ear sounds like it is infected and it can cause referred pain to other areas of your face and neck and you may have swollen glands in your neck, too.
