I had a weird pain in the right side of my throat for about a week & it doesnt hurt to swallow food or drink anything but it hurts when I swallow my saliva or do the swallowing motion with nothing. Then it progressed to not so much a pain but like a lump feeling when i did it & all the sudden today its on the left side & it hurts a bit more than right did but the right seems to have gone away or I cant feel it over the left side pain. Still doesnthurt when i eat or drink but again it hurts when i swallow saliva or do the swallowing motion. Also I cant open my mouth all the way without a sharp lasting pain in the righ side of my jaw joint. So i cant look at my tonsils cause I cant open my mouth that far for too long before the jaw pain. Also the jaw pain has been lkike that for years.

I would see my doctor right away. Normally I would say, you have a precursor to a heart attack. The blood vessels in the throat construct and are involved in a heart action but, since this has been going on for some time and, changes, then it could also mean a stomach problem. The nerves to the esophagus also run through here and can act like a heart problem.
You should certainly see your doctor right away and explain it to him. You need some tests done now.

It could be a slightly swollen gland. Press just below your left ear on the neck. If that hurts take an asprin.
