What Causes Sore Throat, Coughing, Headaches With Chest And Neck Pains?
My 7 year old son and 29 year old husband are both sick with the same exact symptoms... They started with a sore throat about 9 days ago. They are stuffed up and coughing both complaining of headaches, chest pain when they couch and neck pain(right below the ears). My son has not have a fever but my husband said he has felt feverish and my son has some eye drainage.
Their symptoms are suggestive of an upper airway infection. It may be a viral infection or a bacterial infection. If the situation persists, I recommend consulting with their doctor for a physical exam, a chest X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
