Pain outside the throat may be caused by the following conditions: first, localized infectious inflammation of the skin, resulting in localized pain in the skin outside the throat, such as localized folliculitis, etc. The second is lymphadenitis, an enlargement of the lymph nodes, followed by pain and even fever. This can be treated by anti-infection, mainly with anti-infection drugs, such as cephalosporin antibiotics, but also local heat. In acute lymphadenitis, where the pain in the lymph nodes is vague or acute, blood may have to be drawn to see how the infection is doing. If the blood picture is not high, there may be some other factors to look for. Third, other factors may cause pain outside the throat, such as localized arthritis. If there are patients with gout or other physiological factors, localized arthritis, especially in the larynx, may appear as a reflex painful area of the local skin.
