A week ago a small pea sized bump appeared behind my ear, rather sore. 3 days ago, minor pimples or cuts just started getting heavily infected, still persistent. More bumps in my neck appeared, fairly painful. A lot of things taste saltier than normal. Persistent headache. I'm 22, male, eat very healthy and exercise regularly. It's study time, so I'm not exposed to many people. Not enough that I could have caught something at least.
