It sounds either like a swolen lymph or a knot. You most likley slept on it wrong. I recommendd to buy those microwavable heat packs and just rest it on your neck daily, several times. Or take some Motrin. It can last several days and if it doesn't go away try seeing a doctor. If the doctor says nothings wrong go to a physical therapist or someone who does massages. Might help.

Hes probably right, swollen lymph nodes, more commonly called swollen glands, sounds very very much like it. Shouldnt worry about it, it'll go by itself, probably just caused by a virus, if it hasnt gone in a week go to the doctor like your boyfriend said
Hope its all good hun xxxx

You have a smart boyfriend.
Now, I know I give a lot of advice about health. You need to know I am not in a medical profession. I have just had a lot of health problems, so I am familiar with a lot of symptoms.
It does sound like swollen lymph nodes. This tends to happen when you are getting sick. You are probably on the verge of a cold. Take extra vitamin c, get extra rest, drink a lot of water and juice. Because of the swollen lymph nodes, you have a warning that you will be sick. This is a good way to make sure you don't get too sick. If this does not go away in about a week, like your boyfriend said, check with a doctor. It is not likely to be anything serious, but it is always better to be on the safe side and get a doctor's opinion if symptoms don't go away.
