Is Cough, Fever, Swollen Neck With Headache Concerning?
Saturday morning I woke up with a cough. Over the course of the day it escalated to a fever, my neck felt swollen, I had a horrible headache, it hurt to inhale deeply. I took some ibuprofen around 8:30pm and that didn't really help, but an hour later I took some nyquil and my fever broke and my head stopped throbbing. I woke up today, Sunday morning, and felt fine, no fever, headaches, nothing. Should I go see a doctor Monday anyway or is whatever I have cleared up?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having viral infection giving all these problem.
This infection is self limiting and as you are feeling better with symptomatic treatment, continue as and e when required.
Take plenty of water and take rest.
avoid cold drinks, spicy and junk food.
Ok and take care.
