Lump On Back, Head Feel Bruised, Achy, Headaches, Cold, Flu. Are They Linked?

Hi there
I have this lump on the back right hand side of my head which feels bruised but I've definitely not bumped it. Also I'm feeling really achey all over my body, kind of week and have headaches which I never get. I've had this for three days now, I thought I was coming down with a cold or flu but I'm not. Any idea if those things are linked or what it could be? Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Headache and flu can be associated with sinus infection or any tooth infection associated.
I would advice you to get a thorough evaluation by a dentist.
Decayed or impacted wisdom teeth if present,has to be treated.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics.
Stressful jobs has to be limited.
Avoid intake of cold foods/drinks.
If symptoms persists,please do visit an ENT specialist too.
Take care.
