What Causes Stuffy Nose With Swollen Neck?
My 12 year old daughter has a stuffy nose, and is slightly warm. She also is complaining of her neck hurting. She has a knot on the right side of her neck that is hard and her neck muscle is also swollen. Do you think she maybe has an infection and would require antibiotics.
