See a DR: An abscess is a collection of bacteria, white blood cells sent to fight the infection and damaged tissue. The key word is infection! An untreated abscess can cause life threatening blood stream infections. Unsure if your headaches/neck pain are related, but if they are it could be that the bacteria have traveled to your brain capsule and caused a type of meningitis. See a Dr ASAP.
