Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Throat

yesterday I woke up with severe tenderness at the back/base of my head. to touch it is extremely painful like it feels bruised. the top of my arms also feel a little tender and my throat is beginning to feel a little swollen (wondered if it is connected). the soreness at the back of my head if anything is getting worse not better.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The swollen and painful throat can be because of the throat infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated.
Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like azithromycin(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care
