I am 18 years old. Since like 4 days ago I have had a swore throath and my neck hurts when I turn it to each side and when I tilt it back. I have put bengay on it and nothing helps. Also I am taking antibiotics for my throath but it's the same aswell. There is this weird taste to. I don't think it's normal to have a swore throath so long and I was thinking of going to the hospital. But before I wanted to see I someone can tell me what I might have.

 There are several possiblities. Most likely, you have a viral infection of the throat.
Other possibilities include a bacterial throat infection or abscess. Meningitis is also possible with neck pain (more likely to be viral since bacterial meningitis generally makes people very sick).
I agree that you should see your doctor since your symptoms are not getting better.
Best wishes.
