While eating I noticed my right side of my neck was starting to get very painful. Finished eating felt the spot, it's hardened & hurts. Looked in the mirror and there's swelling in that spot. For the past week I've been helping my mother-in-law clean her house and have been on Claritin for the past year & forgot to take it this morning. I also had to put icy/hot on my back last night. Hurts to swallow, a bit of pressure, & I it's throbbing a little bit. I have my wedding in 3 days! Any help on what to do to get swelling down or just an infection?
