I have had ear pain and a sore throat for 2 weeks. My ears and clear and my throat is only mildly red. Yesterday I had a really bad headache along the base of my skull that moved into my neck and was the worst pain I have every had. Could all of these be related? I have seen my Dr. 4 times in the past 2 weeks.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is likely that your symptoms are all related. Infections involving the respiratory tract can result in headache. It can occur with viral or bacterial infections. If the pain in the ears and throat have been persisting for 2 weeks then antibiotics may be needed. Viral sore throats do not normally continue for that length of time.Anti-inflammatory pain medications such as aspirin, naproxen or ibuprofen would help with pain relief. I hope this helps
