A member asked:
Im on an antibiotic for a sinus infection day 3 now, yesterday my neck started to hurt when i move it, not stiff, should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The neck pain is probably from lymph gland swelling. In rare conditions there can be infection up behind the palate that can spread causing a bony spine infection manifested with neck pain and stiffness. If the stiffness persists for more than a couple weeks or worsens then see md.
