What Causes Heaviness In The Head And Sore Throat?

Hi, This is in regard to the symptoms I an having. I do not have fever but felt real cold in an air conditioned area. I had heaviness in my head I could feel the mucus all over my head. And nose. And sore throat of course. What worrie s me is a guilty on the left side of my neck below the back of ear . Not so close to ear though. It s underskin. The skin is normal. It s painless. When I touch , it seems soft and movable. My doctor said there is nothing to worry about it is just a throat infection but why a guilty is there just on one side. And I don t have any symptoms like high fever or loss of appetite or weight lodo. Rather I have gained 4-5 kgs weight in last 2 months. I am just googling my symptoms and making myself mad! Please see and tell me.. what should I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have heaviness in the head and sore throat which occurs due to upper respiratory tract infection as well. I would suggest you to start with anti-inflammatory medication such as Levocetrizine along with antibiotic such as Levofloxacin. You should take Tylenol for fever as well. You should take steam inhalation and such on sugarless candies. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and get blood tests done. Start treatment after proper prescription and diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antiviral/ antibacterial medications. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Sip on warm water with one spoon honey.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
