Throat has been sore for around 12 days now. It's not unbearable, just noticeable. Occasionally I will get a sharp pain in my jaw around where my wisdom teeth were. I went to the dentist, he felt my neck, took temperature, etc pressed on my gums around the tooth. Nothing, no pain. Looked at my throat and said that it just looked irritated, and that he's seen a lot worse. I know that having a sore throat for this long is not normal, and I'm just a little concerned. Anybody have any ideas ? All help is greatly appreciated.
