What Causes Sore Throat, Cough And Stiffness In The Neck?

I have a terrible sore throat and even a sore and stiff neck, chest and shoulders. Associated with a cough that worsens at night and/or when I lay down. An extremely persistent cough that keeps me awake at night. And chest pain, usually aching, but sometimes sharp and sudden, usually when I lie down on my left side. Any thoughts?

HI
You need to have this evaluated since you could have pneumonia, strep throat or even meningitis considering the neck stiffness

This needs immediate evaluation
