Suggest Treatment For Painful Stiffness In Neck, Numb Lump In Mouth And Fever

Brief Answer:
MAY BE INFECTION
Detailed Answer:

It might be due to infection, but it is difficult to say presently. Just continue with paracetamol and wait ....if fever persist, vomiting/headache/ stiffness occurs - you need to go to a doctor for evaluation.
Lump may be a coincidental or may be a mild skin infection...
if any confusion, please let me know
take care
