What Could Be The Reason For Having Sore Throat And A Lump On My Neck?
Hi. About a week ago I had a sore throat. There is a lump on the right side of my neck that is sore and pulsates. 4 days later my knee began to hurt and then my left arm. The next morning my body was aching like I had the flu, only NO sinus issues. I took an Ibuprofen, the pain subsided, although the lump in my neck remains. Its beginning to bother me and interrupts my sleep.
