Having Pain In Upper Side Of The Throat And Did A Tough Abdominal Exercise. Reason?
Question: Having pain in the upper side of the throat and i cant describe it.. Yesterday i had a tough abdominal excercise which i used my neck, can it be the reason?
Brief Answer:
Neck muscle sprain, throat & neck examination
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. The most likely cause is a neck muscle sprain due to the strenuous abdominal exercises.
2. A simple throat examination and Neck X-rays will help differentiate this from any local infection, acid reflux, cervical spine spasm and so on.
3. Treatment will then consist of rest, anti-inflammatory (such as Combihext (aceclofenac+paracetamol) , anti-reflux and local pain relieving gels (such as Volini or Power-Gel).
I hope that I have answered your queries. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
