What Causes Throbbing Pain In The Back With Swollen Throat?
Hello, i'm 18 and this started a week ago.
A week ago, I began to have little to no pain in the back of my head.
As the week progressed, now there's a constant aching throbbing pain in the back of my head along with a swollen throat. I'm having trouble swallowing. As I type this, whenever I try to clear my throat or shake my head, my temporal region, eyes, and the back of my head all pulsate and hurts even more. Please tell me, is this a migraine or something? I've never had head-aches this bad nor a cold. Could this be something more?

You might be having acute sinusitis,with involvement of all sinusus.Such involvement can lead to headache radiating to back,behind eyes.Pharyngitis together with sinusitis can cause a sore throat.Please consult your ent for examination of throat and nose,probably a course of antibiotics will relieve your problems.
