A member asked:

I got this lump on my neck and it hurts when i touch it and now i am having really bad headaches. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get throat culture: Possible strep throat, or viral pharyngitis, but best to be safe and get this addressed with rapid strep screen. The headache is likely secondary. Visit your doctor.
