We cant diagnose you over the net, get it checked out.
If you don't know what it is then its best to get doc to check it out (don't worry, they arent that scary!!
If I were you id get the doc to just take a look, chances are its nothing too serious. Thing is if it could turn into something nasty the longer you leave it the worse it will get:)
Sorry we can't be of more help here!
Yes you can get them there. I have. But you really should go to the docs with them just to make sure. I did with mine. Actually they've cleared up now.
Also it could be glands. there's plenty of those round there that can swell up. If it's sore to touch thats what it probaly is.
But as everyone else has said. Go to the docs it's the only safe way!
I've had a quite painful one for a while now that my doctor said is just a very swollen lymph node...apparently I'm having an allergic reaction and she can't figure out to what. I can't avoid it if I don't know what it is that I'm reacting to. I'll probably die.
If it is just your lymph node, my doctor said the swelling will go down once the reaction/illness stops. Whenever that is. The swelling is just the body's reaction to infection.
But then again, you said it's the back of your neck, so that's all useless to you.
Yep, best thing to do.
