Hi thanks for asking question. If you have common cold with sore throat like repeated viral infection then it can lead such pain as constitutional symptoms. Treat it symptomatically. If fever also present with cough and CBC show high WBC count then rule out pneumonitis like condition by chest x-ray. Antibiotic needed for it. You could have simple musculoskeletal pain by muscular strain or improper sleep posture or heavyweight lift or heavy exercise. Simple analgesic with hot compress useful. For ruling out cardiac problems perform ECG. If no cardiac or respiratory cause identifiable then Costco Chat Doctor. Rest and analgesic given for it. Wish you good health.
