What Causes Pain In Neck, Head And Shoulders Along With Sore Throat?

The last four or five days I ve started feeling a bit achy in my neck, head, and shoulders, and also feel a bit of a sore throat in my glands I think...but it all comes on in the afternoon/early evening, then the next morning I feel fine. Am I fighting a virus or something? I m more concerned than I d usually be because I just had a baby two weeks ago and I have a 2 year old, and am concerned about sharing germs. :(

Hello.
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. My advice to you is to be peaceful and relax as many women post delivery suffer with pain in neck, shoulder and head areas mainly due to stress(what they call as post baby blues) . Let me enlighten you a little on this topic, psychosomatic pain is experiencing physical pain due some deep unconscious emotional issues. In your case it can be hormonal, physical and mental changes your body is undergoing post delivery that is causing pain. Sore throat can be taken care of without medications if you have no other associated symptoms like cough and fever. Salt water (warm) gargle thrice daily till the sore throat subside, will be helpful as most sore throats even viral need no antibiotics. Food rich in vitamin c or vitamin c supplements of dose not more than 500 mg (OTC) will help building immunity can be taken. Warm water pad compression over the pain area for psychosomatic pain; most importantly stay relaxed and enjoy motherhood without any worries. Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
