A member asked:
I have tenderness on both sides of my neck below my ear what is this?

Muscles, lymph nodes: I suspect it's either the muscles of your neck or mildly irritated/inflamed superficial cervical lymph nodes - especially if you've been sick recently. I recommend to my pt's to try some Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) first, give it a few days and then see me if its not improving. Best of luck.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You may take acetaminophen for the pain and if it does not improve in a week or so, or gets worse, see a doctor.
