What Causes Soreness And Inflammation Of Throat?

Hi there, I am 18 year old and I am currently experiencing a pain in my throat,so how bad that can be,considering the fact that in the last year and a half I would always wake up with a soar throat and strange taste in my mouth,but after while,as I d get up, it would disappear. However the things have got worse lately,I don t sleep that well,and my throat is ,I suppose, inflamed,because when I touch my neck,right beneath a thyroid gland It hurts I ve heard all sorts of stories and I m afraid to even go and check it out. So could you please give me some advice about what to do? Thank you for your attention.

hello,thanks for your query, early morning sore throat could be due due deviated nasal septum(sleeping with mouth opening),acid reflex or sinusitis. at age 18, it will be some infection related to your throat like pharyngitis or tonsillitis. dont worry. any infection in throat can cause pain in neck. kindly evaluate with an ent surgeon for definative diagnosis and treatment. hope i have answered your query. all the best. take care.
