Is the carotid and jugular the same artery, and if inflammed, is there immediate alarm for that?

have an inflammed carotid artery, and feels like a painful tonsil. Is there immediated danger in that, or is there simple medicine that would counter that problem
Answer:
don't you think it is just tonsilitits? anyways, if the jugular vein is distented it represents myocardial infarction therefore an alarming one. maybe there is something inflammed in your upper body that's why it is painful. anyways, seeing your doctor is the best way.
the jugular is a vein, not an artery. How do you know the artery is inflamed? You should see a doctor if it is or you think it is. There are no simple medicines you can buy over the counter.
The carotid is an artery and the jugular is a vein. I don't think it is immediate danger, although, you should see a doctor if you are concerned about any health issue. It could be tonsillitis.And to one of the previous response. Distended jugular veins is not a sign of a myocardial infarction. Distended jugular veins can be the cause of many conditions and should be treated, such as, pulmonary hypertension, pneumothorax, copd, vena cava syndrome. My best advice is to see a doctor if this symptom is bothersome.
