What Causes Pain In The Throat While Sneezing?
Question: A week ago I sneezed and felt a pain in my throat. Ever since it has been painful to swallow and my voice is nearly gone.
Brief Answer:
Most possible viral infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
If you are wondering if the sneezing has ruptured something in your throat, that is not possible.
It may be a viral infection which have presented the symptoms you are describing.
It may present also with fever, runny nose and cough (if you don't have them yet). It has been a week though and you should start feeling better.
I would suggest to take Ibuprofen 400 mg every 6 hours as needed for the sore throat so it will decrease the inflamgmation too.
Depending the symptoms, take medications if needed.
If these problem with sore throat persists, let me know more information so I can advice accordingly.
Let me know if you have other symptoms, or I can help you in any other way. I will be happy to provide more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
