Night Sweat, Lower Back Pain, Swollen Glands, Stiff Neck, Fainting, Fever, Taken Amoxicillin
Hi, About 10 days ago I woke up with a terrible night sweat - it had never happened before. For the rest of the week I had lower back pain (to the side). This monday, I developed very swollen glands, which rapidly turned to a severe stiff neck . I fainted on Monday eve and had fever. Was given amoxicillin 500 by doc for infection - but neck stiffness no better? Thanks AAAAAAA (31)

Hello, It is my privilege to be able to help you, I have gone through history as you had night sweating which if followed by severe muscle ache and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. I suspect that you are having a viral infection and the symptoms are in favor of viral infection. As your treating doctor has advised some medicine to control infection in the body, you may require some medicine to reduce the pain and stiffness. Consult your Physician for the stiff neck and he will prescribe some medicine to reduce the pain. Thank you.
