Suggest Remedy For Headache
For the past 3 days I have been having moderate to severe pain on the left side in the back of my head when swallowing. I also have lots of pain in my neck and can hardly turn my head either way or look up. Can you please tell me what this can be? I had a virus last week with vomiting and running fever, but that stopped on Wednesday and this started the following Monday. Please help!!!

Hi,
First of all, virus can cause these symptoms if your immune system does not work properly. So, you should do some investigations such as: CBC and fasting blood sugar. If you had a viral infection, you would need a bed rest, eat healthy food and avoid smoking and drinking for 5 days. If your condition did not improve you would need further investigations with an immunologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
