My daughter is 15 yrs old, for about a year now she has had a lump inbetween her neck and collarbone. It is firm to touch and is tender, she has developed a headache like a drummer banging in her head, she has had a temperature for a week now and she hasnt got a sore throat and is sleeping continuosly. Anything that could help would be appreciated. Thanks
