There's a small lump on my neck and it really hurts. i've had it for about three days now.

Neck lump: Given the acuity of the lump, it is probably a small abscess or a lymph node, secondary to a nearby infectious process. However, since you did not give ample detail, I am unable to say, unequivocally, whether the infection started in the throat, or just the scalp.
