Q: Thoat Is Sore, Neck Is Stiff, Swollen Glands In Neck (sometimes)

This is driving me crazy!! I have differing degrees of sore throat, stiff neck, and swollen glands. Some days none of the symptoms at all, somtimes a combination. I have been on three rounds of antibiotcs but because the symtoms come and go, I am not sure if anything is working. I have had trouble like this over the years, and I have been diagnosed with mono once years ago. I am getting older now and seem to worry about things alot more. One time aprox 12 years ago, my throat was so bad it felt like someone took a cheese gradder to it. That lasted for months, but eventually cleard up. The symtom that bugs me the most is the stiff neck. Anyone have any idea what this might be?? Any help would be apprecieated.

Stiff neck in the sense of the muscles? Aching? Can you better describe this symptom?

Swollen neck feeling
hi, about 2 months ago i came down with a serious sore throat, it was pretty much the worst ive ever had! it last for about 3 days and went away then a week later it returned and lasted for about the same time. Now 2 months later i havent had a sore throat BUT i have had this uncomfortable feeling inside my throat, one day its on the left and the next day its on the right and my neck is kinda swollen on the left side it feels a bit swollen compared to the right side which appears to be fine. Ive taken a throat swab which came back normal, no sign of any bacteria and blood test came back really normal. Except for the fact that it showed i PREVIOUSLY had the EBV virus but its no longer in my system anymore. My doctor just told me its a viral infection...

I just dont know. Everyday i cant help but wonder if its something more serious...???

Sore Throat
Hi, I have had sinus problems on and off, this last time my neck muscles are extremely sore and it is not the lymph nodes. My suggestion to you would be to build up your immune system. Take probiotics, Ester C and definately try eating healthy, more fresh veggies and raw fruits. Good Luck!!
