What causes a neck abscess? A neck abscess occurs during or just after a bacterial or viral infection in the head or neck such as a cold, tonsillitis, sinus infection, or otitis media (ear infection). As an infection worsens, it can spread down into the deep tissue spaces in the neck or behind the throat.
An abscess is an infection of the soft tissue that results in a pooling of pus. They are typically caused by bacteria, parasites or foreign substances. When near the surface of the skin, abscesses are obvious to the eye, appearing red and swollen. Abscesses are often painful.
