I cut a cyst on my jawline trying to drain it, now i have a horrible head cold. could it be related?

Do not drain: this yourself. This may be a bil, abscess, lymph node or infection. PLease get a professional exam. Squeezing or incision ( cutting) can make things worse. consult your primary care physician.
