Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat
i woke up with a sore spot on my neck. It almost feels as if i have a bruise on the inside of my neck (right on the bone in the middle, where my neck meets my jaw ). I do not have a sore throat at all. If i touch it, it is very sore and i feel a lot of pressure. 24 year old female 105lbs and i m 5-9. I recently heard that in my chart it says i have castleman s disease but the doctor that wrote that in my chart never said anything to me. i have an appt on tuesday to go back to that doctor. Should i wait til then with my throat hurting like this? and what could it be? (I m hoping i just somehow twisted it wrong when i slept.)

Hello,
Castle man's disease is an abnormal lymph node enlargement by an unknown cause. It mimics lymphoma but it is not lymphoma.
For your neck pain may be due to this condition or cervical spondylosis. A sore throat may be due to viral pharyngitis or secondary Infection.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
Use pain killer like simple paracetamol may give relief. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
