Brief Answer:
Pet CT scan and blood culture test

Detailed Answer:
Hi

After hearing your history I would advise you to do a PET CT scan and a blood culture test since you are having fever and pain in neck along with rash or bug bite marks.
Since prednisolone is not helping u would advise you to take paracetamol 1 gm thrice daily along with antihistamine group of drugs with your doctors advise
