A member asked:
I have had a stiff sore neck for 5 days and my temperature is 98.8. what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore neck: Your temperature is normal. Neck stiffness/soreness is most likely muscular. Without a fever or other signs of illness, meningitis is highly unlikely.
