I'm having some issues with pain in the right side of my neck, and it seems to be coming from a vein and extending to the lower part of my head. I also feel really cold and there's a heaviness in my right ear. Sometimes the pain gets really intense and I feel nauseous too. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a sinus infection or sinusitis. I recommend taking a combination of a decongestant and pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain and congestion. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help with the cold symptoms and heaviness in the ear. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Your persistent dry cough, especially while speaking and breathing, despite no recent cold or fever, may be related to your underlying sinus issues, potentially triggering postnasal drip, acid reflux, or irritation of the throat and airways, so consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialis
