A member asked:
I have a bump on the back of my head. the swelling has gone down with some heat and essential oils, but the pain is still there. the pain is now; the back of my head, my right ear and down my jaw line. why is it moving? should i be more concerned?

If you do not have fever, sorethroat and overlying redness of the area apart from after the application of heat I would say it could be due to muscle tension. Is there soreness of the muscles with no significant swelling, then just wait and probably use neck support and muscle massage with the essential oil and heat in the area. If any of the symptoms mentioned get evaluated for possible infection
