I have had a cold for about a week now.
I only just started taking robitussin yesterday because my throat was so itchy, I couldn't stay asleep at night.
I woke up this morning with what felt like a terrible earache. I got up and felt that it was painful to hold my head up.
I felt around my neck and found that the muscle directly under my ear and a bit behind it and between the jaw is so sore. And the pain goes along the bottom of my jaw, as well as down my neck.
The pain of the pulled muscles is hurting my ear, and the gland in my throat. It hurts to open my mouth as well. It feels like it is also giving me a headache.
I've taken 2 Aleve so far.
Ive been using warm compresses on my neck as well. l've also rubbed some Lakota On the sore muscles.
I've tried to relax my muscles in my neck, but then I find another source of pain. So far nothing is working.
Unfortunately, I can't lay down and relax because I have to go to work soon.
