Headache, Throat Pain, Swollen Gland, Tender Left Knee. Taken Excedrin. Cause Of Throat Pain?
I got a headache around my temple about 2 hrs. ago and maybe a minute later the left side of my throat started to hurt and it feels like a gland is swollen, I can turn my head almost the whole way to the left but very little to the right until it starts to pull and hurt. I took 2 excedrin for the headache and the pain and layed down for almost an hour, when I got up my headache is gone but my throat still hurts and behind my left knee is tender. Any ideas

Hi, it appears that it is a viral infection, with superinfection with the bateria in the throat. Other possibility is the muscles of the neck pain, due to the defeciency of calcium called tetany. I advise you to consult an E.N.T surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
