This evening I felt a pain in my throat when swallowing and then noticed a lump on the right side of my throat just above my collarbone about 1.5 in diameter. The pain seems to be a burning sensation and radiates to my right ear and through my right shoulder. It has been going on for about 6 hours. Not sure what to do but I don t usually go to the doctor for anything.
Hi.based from your description, those lumps could be lymphadenopathies (inflamed lymph nodes) secondary to a recent or an ongoing infection (in your case, possibly an upper respiratory tract infection). If it is viral in etiology, it would subside in a weeks time. It is best if you consult with your doctor for clinical evaluation. Management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
