So last night in my jui jitsu class, my partner was a bit overzealous and threw on a choke super hard. I tapped, but he threw it on fast and hard. Now the right side of my throat hurts, like a sore throat. It hurts when I swallow and I can feel pain in my ear too. It's not terrible pain, it's just like sore throat basically. Any suggestions on what I might be able to do to help alleviate the pain?

Wait a few days, it will pass. Also inform your partner about safe training practices ;)

Chokes shouldn't hurt, but they will put you too sleep. If it's hurting it's because he is putting pressure on the throat, which hurts, but will take a lot longer to put you to sleep. It can also damage the throat, which in minor cases leaves you with a sore throat. Taken to the point of putting you out and you might need the tube in the throat thing due to swelling ;)

Sounds like you bruised your throat. Drink ice water for a couple of days. If it doesn't get better in several days, think about talking to a doctor. And tell your training partner to mellow out a little.
 
I've had this, it's like the rings of the trachea are bruised and it hurts like heck! Nothing you can do but grin and bear it methinks. It will pass after a while.
