i had an egg like tumer in my neck...i noticed it 7 monthes ago...it was painful, and small....but 10 days ago it begin to be bigger..its size like small egg size.. and its colour changed to red...and my neck begins to hurt me...and i feel exhausted all the time...i made cbc..it is normal but my lymphocytes% is 46%... i think this tumer is in posterior cervical lymph node as i saw in pictures online... i am abroad now and i have to wait 2 weeks more to consult a doctor....i am just afraid...could it be tumer? or what it could be? thanks
His per your description, it looks like an Infected lymph node. It is not tumor. Redness of the swelling indicates Infection and associated inflammation. I prescribe Antibiotic like Clindamycin capsule 600\u00a0mg thrice daily along with anti-inflammatory tablet to my patients with similar complaints. Once the infection is subsided, please get an FNAC (Fine Needle aspiration Cytology) of the swelling. Exact diagnosis will be confirmed. Nothing to worry. It will come down. Wish you good health.
