Could Sore Throat, Nasal Congestion And Pain And Bumps On Tongue Be Sinus Infection?

Here are my symptoms over the past four days. Sore throat when swallowing, nasal congestion and sinus pain, eye muscle aches, headache, bad breathe with phlem in back of throat, bumps on back of tongue, stiff neck, all over body aches with concentrated backache and stiffness. Is this a sinus infection or something else. There has been no fever at all. Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
It seems that you have upper respiratory tract infection(URI) due to virus.
Over 200 different viruses have been isolated in patients with URIs. The most common virus is called the rhinovirus. Other viruses include the coronavirus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, enterovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus.Sinusitis occurs as complications. One can have low grade fever which often gets unnoticed.Sinusitis alone will not cause backache and stiffness and other symptoms as mentioned by you.





Regards
