A member asked:

Bad sore throat and a neck, shoulder pain

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flu vs...: Although, you may have a range of symptoms, the key is to watch them closely. The causes might range from the flu to an abscess in the back of your throat. If you have high fever, difficulty swallowing, headache, compromised breathing, you must be seen immediately.
