I'm feeling really worried because my neck feels heavy and I've got a cold. It feels like something's stuck in my throat, and it's super uncomfortable. Could this be something serious, or is it just part of having a cold? What should I do about it?

I'm really concerned because I've had this sore throat for about two months now. It's red at the back and hurts a bit when I swallow. I've seen a couple of doctors alreadyfirst, I had a throat culture which was negative, then the ENT specialist prescribed calithromycin or cliff tablets, plus a gastric tablet and painkiller, but that didnt help at all. At RML hospital, they suggested amoxicillin for 6 days and sefixime for 5 days, still no relief. I read somewhere that it might be post-nasal drip and was advised to try an anti-allergy tablet and a steroid nasal spray. Can you suggest any specific nasal sprays or antiallergy tablets that might help?

Take anti-allergic tab and steroid nasal spray for 3weeks...it seems it's due to post nasal drip...

I've been feeling this needle-like sensation in my throat for the past couple of days and it's really bothering me. Its not where my tonsils usually are, so I dont think its that. It gets worse when I'm lying down. Any ideas on what it could be or how to make it better?

That could be mucosal congestion,consume warm foods and take warm water u will feel better,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
