What Causes Soreness Of Glands And Stiffness In The Neck?
I have been taking antibiotics for 24 hrs and anti inflammatories, the pain is intense and panadol doesn t help. The glands are hard, extend from ear to back of neck and down the front of the neck and the jaw hurts in that area too. I have no fevers or sickness, just pain. My friends I saw 3 days ago reported a stiff neck and sore glands from a virus. I m worried about the infection being bigger. I have no teeth probs.
