Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat With Headaches
I have been having headaches (dull and gradual onset) and I came down with Laryngitis and a dry cough. I also have a small lump on the side of my neck that is tender and I can move it around like a marble. It's about half way down my neck on the right side, closer to the back than the front. I have had a weird sore throat (like I'm breathing got air in the bottom of my throat) for 2 months. It turned into sudden laryngitis two days ago. I have also had a runny nose for two months as well. Flonase and Claritin D did nothing.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat with headaches which could be due to strep throat , upper respiratory track infection , viral pharyngitis and acid reflux . Sometimes there can be allergic reaction. I would suggest you to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for headache and take benadryl twice a day . If symptoms doesn't get better in a days then consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may examine with laryngoscope , order thraot swab test and viral culture test . Doctor may refer you to allergy specialist or gastroenterologist . Maintain proper hygiene. Drink plenty of water and liquids. Take tepid sponging if it is severe headache.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
