Hi thanks for your question.
The big lump in along with several small lumps in the neck could be lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are normally present in body and get enlarged when there is infection in their vicinity. You are having sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infection and bronchitis. These lumps could be cervical lymph nodes. You are taking antibiotics along with plenty of symptomatic medicine. Continue with these medicines. But you a good physical examination along with investigations like, chest X Ray, blood count and fine needle aspiration cytology of these lymph node is necessary to establish the diagnosis. After accurate diagnosis treatment can be prescribed to you. For migraine continue the medicine prescribed to you by your G p. Re consult your G P with these base line facts in your mind, so that he may re evaluate you for your problems.
Hope this answers your question
