I woke up yesterday morning and the left side of my neck was swollen and aching.. I woke up today and found out my chest is swelling as well.. I don t know if this relevant but I drank and smoked a lot last night.. Oh when I say chest I mean the part exactly below where the neck stops. I'm freaking out but I don t want to think it s serious and I d like to avoid seeing a doctor. any ideas? when I touch the swollen bits it hurts, and it also hurts when I try to move my neck. please someone help..

You didn't mention anything about a bruise and swelling on the neck and chest sounds pretty hard to injure without having other parts of your body involved. It's also been a day. I'd go to the doctor's. Good luck.

Honestly, this is not the place to be asking something that could be very serious. You have to see a doctor ASAP. It sounds as though it could have been an allergic reaction to something...until you mentioned the fact that different areas of your neck are swelling up over a period of 2 days. If it was an allergic reaction, chances are you wouldn't have pain when you touched it. SEE A DOCTOR!!!

Knock off the habits and you'll live longer. I know that it's tough--I kicked a 20 year cig habit. Drink plenty of water, take niacin and a good multivitamin B complex. Find a good dietician in your area and slowly take care of your body, because it's the only one you have. There are no 'dress rehersals' here. Good luck.

Go to a doctor ASAP.
Sounds like an allergic reaction -- which can be fatal.
Alternatively, it could be some sort of systemic failure or infection.
In either case, you MUST go to the doctor now.
Good luck.

Look, I don't know why you don't want to see a doctor but whatever reason that is, it can't be more important than your health when it's in such a bad state. You need to get to a doctor, or a hospital, and get a professional opinion.

Take some benadryl NOW!, and go to the emergency room, it could be a number of things, one of which could be an allergic reaction, and things could get worse very quickly. I hate to scare you, but this happened to my son once, and it was very serious.

Best advice is go to the Doctor. If you listen to unprofessional advice you may just make things worst. It is probably something that is easy to take care of. So go see your doctor...

try putting some ice on it. it should take down some of the swelling. plus try to drink as much water as possible. just flush out your system. you might have had a reaction to the liquor.
