What Causes Headache And Pain In The Throat Upon Swallowing?
feeling something sharp in my throat when i swallow but it was gone after 5 minutes , but i have a swollen eyelid and had a mild headache ? what is it maybe? i m going to get bacterial test and more tomorrow but i have a feeling it has something to do with my lymph because i recently found some swollen lymph nodes but less than a cm and still soft and had an allergic reaction before that.Any thoughts?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Sharp feeling in throat while swallowing could be due to infection of the throat.
Swelling of the eye lid suggests infection and inflammation of the sweat glands or sebaceous glands.
Lymph node enlargement can occur in infections like viral or bacterial infections.
Altered sensation in the throat, swelling of eye lid, lymph node enlargement can occur due to viral infection.
An aspiration cytology of the lymph nodes is required to know the possible cause of lymph node enlargement.
In case the infection turns out to be due to viral infection, anti-viral treatment.
Thanks and take care
