Suggest Treatment For Headache And Painful Lumps On The Back

My 17 year old daughter woke up today achy all over especially in the back of her head where she found 4 marble size lumps 2 on each side of hear neck that hurt to touch and has a headache that no meds are helping. She does suffer from migraines but has not had a headache in a few months.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
In most cases this is just a swollen lymph node which doesnt require any specific treatment. Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibroma or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia.
Then it there are doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
