Painful excoriation and inflammatory swelling of throat, with redness of parts affected, as if they were coloured with vermilion.

Swelling of the tonsils (mostly l.).

Large and small tumours in throat, which impede deglutition.

Empty swallowing agg. the pain in throat more than swallowing food; or fluids are swallowed with less pain than solids.

In old chronic sore throats throat may not be very sore, but a great quantity of mucus will stick there, and occasions much hawking and spitting to no purpose; the mucus will stick and can't be forced up or down.
