I have had a lump under my neck for about a week now and its painful. Its the size of a dime. Its right under my jaw line on the right size of my neck. I have no other symptoms. I originally thought it was a lymph node but I have no idea what I can do about it. Is there anything?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged lymph node.  It can be due to reactive hyperplasia as a result of infection.  Rarely it can be due to tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and 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.
