Does pharyngitis cause the whole neck to hurt even the back of neck sore to touch ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual but: Pharyngitis per se does not usually cause the entire neck to hurt. However if you have significant lymph node enlargement around the neck, it can be painful. If your neck is also getting very stiff, be sure to see your doctor since it may indicate the presence of meningitis.
