What Does Throbbing Pain On The Left Side Of The Neck While Having A Cold Indicate?

I just have a persistent ache along the side of my neck on the left side (along what I think is the eustacian tube) but it hasn t got any worse or better over the last 2 weeks. Just continues to throb off and on. I do not have a cold although I think I broke my nose a few weeks ago with a run in from my dog.

Hello,

If there is an infection of ear or nose, then from there it spreads to the eustachian tube and you will have pain on the left side of the neck.

If you have pain anywhere in the body and infection is there, then you can always take any antibiotics like Amoxicillin, Clavulanic Acid, Ofloxacin, Levofloxacin, and etcetera.

All this if taken a course for about 5 to 7 days adult dosage or according to body weight, then the infection gets subsided and the pain will automatically decrease for sure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
