A member asked:
I have had a bad headache for 3 days now..it seems to be stemming from a small bump on my skull (assuming that's a lymph node). is this an infection?

Need more history to: determine whether infection is causing it or not? Not enough info. It's possible, but then if there's no sign of infection, it's highly unlikely. So, the true answer is that iit depends on other factors also being present, along with symptoms. Please submit more info for us to help you!
