HI, I RECENTLY FOUND A HARD LUMB TO THE SIDE OF MY C7, IT DOES NOT HURT TO THE TOUCH, BUT FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE HAD REALLY PAIN ON BOTH SIDES OF MY NECK AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT FEELS SWOLLEN AND HOT ( MY THROAT DOES NOT HURT AT ALL) AND CONSTANT HEAD ACHES. MAINLY BACK OF MY HEAD IT FEELS LIKE PRESSURE AND HEAT. AND EVERY NOW AND THEN I GET A SHARP AND STROG PAIN IN RT SIDE OF MY HEAD THAT USUALLY LAST FOR 3-4 SECONDS. I HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE OTHER LUMPS IN BOTH SIDES OF MY NECK (ONE I DISCOVERED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO ON RT OF MY NECK AND THE OTHER I FOUND IT A WEEK AGO ON THE LT)
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have multiple enlarged lymph node in neck.  It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
