What Causes Headaches And Sore Throat After A Skin Infection?
Hello. I had a skin infection (folliculitis) in my groin that started last Monday. I ve been using a tropical antibiotic cream three times a day and it seems to be healing.Yesterday, I woke up with a pounding headache that lasted all day. I also had very sore neck and shoulders. Today, my headache and neck pain is gone, but I have the start of a sore throat and it feels like I am getting a cold. Is this anything I should worry about?
Hi, Welcome to healthcare magic. I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern. This may not be related to your skin infection. This could be due to upper respiratory tract infections I recommend the following. 1) A course of antibiotics. 2) Analgesic like tablet paracetamol for pain relief. 3) Salt water gargling. You will be fine. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help. Wish you a good health and speedy recovery. Regards, Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS Consultant ENT Surgeon
