A member asked:

Had a bad throat for about 3 weeks not necessarily sore but aches inside when i swallow and my neck aches pain gets worse through day i'm exhausted?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doc: 3 weeks and haven't seen a doctor yet? Get going now! Sinus, bacterial, viral, fungal infections all could be causing this as well as Gastric reflux ( less likely). Fatigue may lend more to viral pathology, or poor sleeping due to throat pain. You need correct diagnosis and prompt treatment.
