I am 49 years old. I am 150lbs with an height of 5 2 inches. While sleeping I strained my neck and found a lump at the side of my neck, I t is not painful but I am very concern. The swelling has gone down slightly but remain there until now.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor Forum. You have developed a Neck Muscle sprain, and it would have caused the muscle pull which is the cause for swelling. Kindly don't worry as it should not be a serious condition. You can use any of the over the counter analgesics and apply heat pads regularly. You can use a Neck collar if necessary and get adequate rest. It will subside gradually. Wish you Good Health, Take Care.
