Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump At The Base Of The Skull

What is the painful lump at the base of my skull? It is tender to the touch and I have been getting sharp headache pains. I thought maybe I had a sinus infection a few weeks ago and I took a zpack. Symptoms have increased since then and now the painful lump.
