Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Neck

My daughter is 15 yrs old, for about a year now she has had a lump inbetween her neck and collarbone. It is firm to touch and is tender, she has developed a headache like a drummer banging in her head, she has had a temperature for a week now and she hasnt got a sore throat and is sleeping continuosly. Anything that could help would be appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to health care magic.

1.It could be an infective / abscess with collection and causing symptoms like fever , headache, and generalised weakness.
2.Or other way round the illness might have caused the lymph nodal enlargement.
3.In this case you need to see a GP, one has to examine the patient.
4.If the lump is causing the symptoms, a course of antibiotics will help. If bigger size lump - a small nick of incision and drainage followed by the antibiotic treatment.
5.Prior to procedure an ultrasound examination to confirm the nature of the lump and its source and extensions. Good luck.
