Neck lain and granular pharyngitis
I used to be a smoker since last 3 years (3-4cigarettes per day) and I had throat irritation since last 40 days and i have left smoking 1 month ago. I met many general physicians all of them gave me antibiotics but i still had throat irritation. Then i decided to meet an ent specialist in delhi who disgnosed my throat using endoscopy rod and showed me that there are red lines in my larynx part (dilated blood vessels) and showed me there were small bumps in my throat area which he told is granular pharyngitis which might be due to excess antibiotics and Laryngopharyngal Reflux and suggested me just to take 1 tablet for acidity and 1 multivitamin and asked me to do warm salt water gargle nothing else because I've already taken many medicines and assured me it's not much serious. But I am still feeling neck stiffness and pain also little headache. What could be the reason and what else can i do to get better faster. Kindly let me know the possible reason and solution for this pain.

Based on your history, it seems that you are having laryngopharyngeal reflux which is causing discomfort in the throat. Apart from medication, you will require diet/lifestyle modification. And the medication is to continue for at least 6 weeks. Warm saline gargles will help as well. When you say “neck pain” do you mean pain at the back of your neck or throat? If the former, you will have to visit an orthopedic surgeon for management. If the latter, please continue the treatment and keep in mind it will take time and lifestyle modification as already stated. Also, please describe the headache (location, nature, duration, relief with medication etc) so that management can be advised accordingly.
