Suggest Treatment For Swollen Neck And Shortness Of Breath

I have tingling in the neck, along Witt under my jaw area. The back of my throat feels like I have something stuck in it. I have gone to the er and they say I have acid reflux. This feeling dosnt feel like just acid reflux. The tingling also goes a little on the back of my neck area and I have sometimes shortness of breathe. My neck is slightly swollen. This all began about 3 weeks ago and I seem to get a little relief but then if I throw up or caught a lot it gets worse. I have a sense of lose of feeling maybe could be just my nerves because ever since this started I have had major panic attacks. Also my ears feel clogged I have had them check they re not infected what can this be and what can I do

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
Thanks for an elucidate history.
This looks to be a granular pharyngitis causing you to feel something stuck in the throat.
The swelling in the neck can be due to the enlarged lymph nodes with edema of the surrounding tissues due to edema in the subcutaneous plane.
Tingling is the feeling that does on with these findings.
I would advise such a patient the following.
Throat swab for gram staining and culture sensitivity.
Blood- CBC, sugar, kidney functions .
Urine routine microscopy.
Start on a broad spectrum antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines.
Warm saline gargles.
monitoring the vitals of pulse, BP and temperature.
You will get a proper relief soon once yo are on the right medicines.
I find this answer helpful
