What Causes Scratchy Sensation In Throat With Pain In Neck And Ears?

Hi, been feeling a scratchy sensation in my throat for the past 4 days. Achy like I am getting sick, no fever. Pain a little in the back of my ears and a little achy in the neck. Been taking vitamins for the past 2 to 3 weeks and wondering if this could be what is causing it?

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

It's Pharyngitis. Acute Pharyngitis is infection of throat which could be caused by virus or bacteria. It is important to differentiate between these two as treatment is different for these two .

I advise you to get Throat swab Culture Sensitivity test done which will be helpful in differentiating between Viral and bacterial infection. Kindly revert back to me with the report.

Till then do salt water gargling, drink hot water, Avoid Non veg and oily food . Avoid Citrus Fruits.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
