What Causes Headache And Feeling Of Something Struck In Throat?

I ve had headaches for five consecutive days no fever and I feel something in my throat but of course nothing is there and it bothers me mostly during night time. Also I ve used a flashlight to view the back of my throat and I have yellow spots on the back with a couple red veins.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache and feeling of something struck in throat which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. Take steam inhalation. Take proper rest , keep yourself hydrated. Maintain hygiene. Take diet rich in multivitamins. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination as infection has already spread. You should get throat swab test , viral culture test , complete blood profile to find out extent of infection. You should start with antibiotic such as augmentin along with decongestants and anti inflammatory such as Levocetirizine. For now do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
