Have iih. dr. mentioned sore throat and i forgot to ask more about it. i have it but i don't understand what it is. it's not like a reg. sore throat?

Sore throat?: Do you mean "Idiopathic Intracranial hypertension" (IIH)? IIH commonly causes headaches, but not usually sore throat. If you have idiopathic intracranial hypertension, it is important that you understand the condition. Weight loss through healthy eating, salt restriction, and exercise may reduce signs and symptoms.
