Suggest Treatment For Swollen Painful Neck With History Of Mastoiditis
Hi I have had mastoiditis 5 times in under 4 years, I believe it is back as I am having severe pain in my neck and in my throat, both are swollen and so is the area behind my ear. I am as having a hard time hearing. I wanted to know if I should go to the ER or try and wait it out until Monday.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
The source of neck pain could be the sore throat, as both of them share a similar innervation. You can take over-the-counter analgesics such as ibuoprofen or diclofenac. Consult your doctor at the earliest to prevent further complications.
Regards
