Stiff neck, painful, weakness, sore throat. Taking analgesics. Suggest?
Patient: I am 52 Male. about three months back I experienced a stiff neck . Thinking it to be cassual pain I overlooked it. Since I was simultaneously under going dental treatment I was on analgesics and hence did not felt the pain. Now even after three months the pain has once again erupted and from last two days i am having a very stiff neck. I am also feeling very week. I have no fever . Yes I do feel that I am experiencing a mild sore throat from last three months. Should I call on an ortho or an ENT Doctor: Hello there...what kind of dental treatment  you underwent?based on that i can let you know if your dental treatment has any relevance with your neck pain...Since you are complaining of neck stiffness...you have different reasons for that...though there are few dental conditions that has relevance, i cannot comment until i know the kind of treatment performed... stiffness could be because of severe pharyngitis or tonsillitis or any form of infection in your neck....if it only to the neck region then you can consult an ENT who are experts in it... bacterial infection to the salivary gland (submandibular salivary gland) would also lead to pain in the neck..clinical evaluation is mandatory for final diagnosis....
