A member asked:
My left side of the neck is throbbing and is painful if i try to lay down. it feels stiff and also it hurts when i swallow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doc today: Your description is particularly concerning because of the pain on swallowing. Along with the neck stiffness and pain when trying to lay down, the situation is concerning for infections that can be serious such as a blood clot, retropharyngeal abscess, or a meningitis. Therefore, see a doctor soon as possible to get diagnosed and treated appropriately.
