Hello Dr. Samuel, Yesterday morning i started experiencing pain at the base of my neck/top of chest when I take a deep breath, when bending over, and while lying down. I was just getting over some sort of sore throat infection in which my doctor gave me a z-pack which I finished one week ago. I have a tight feeling in my neck and my head hurts and just feels congested. Should I go back to my doctor or wait this out? Thank you,
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The symptoms are in keeping with sinus congestion which may be due to infection or allergies. Since you were just treated for infection, this is more likely. The use of anti histamine, decongestant combination over the counter medication should help. This can be combined with a painkiller for the headache and other discomfort. I hope this helps
