How Can Laryngitis And Pain In The Neck Be Treated?
I have had laryngitis for three weeks. I was given a steroid shot, Z Pak and antibiotics 10 days ago and it is the same. For the past five days I have had extreme neck pain that radiates to the back of my head. It is at the base of my skull. I have used a heating pad, ice, ibuprofen and nothing works. Any ideas what I should do?
